A contemplative character study about a middle-aged woman's self-discovery through an unlikely intergenerational bond, grappling with unfulfilled maternal longing and the constraints of her own life.

When middle-aged Kata realises that her life will only be complete if she has a baby of her own, her longstanding-but-married boyfriend Joska refuses to comply. But by developing an unlikely friendship with the angst-ridden teenage orphan Anna, who is also involved in a controversial relationship, Kata discovers aspects of herself, and her role as a woman, that have gone unexamined throughout her entire, lonely life.
