Storyline

Irina has been working as a part-time waitress, but she is fired. On the same unlucky day, her husband gets into a serious accident. He becomes a cripple and can no longer earn a living. To take care of her disabled husband, her child and herself, the woman embraces a seemingly simple solution: becoming a surrogate mother. This turns out to be incredibly hard. How can she accept the life growing inside her when she will have to part with it forever? Slowly, Irina discovers what it means to love and to forgive. The director says that this “feminine, but not feminist” story is “about rediscovering the world by bringing a new life into it”.
