Storyline

Senada is 31 and she lives in old Roma neighborhood Poljice in central Bosnia with her partner Nazif and two daughters. She is pregnant with her third child for approximately five months. Since she does not have health insurance, she do not go to the doctor's – she does not have the money for the appointments. When she starts bleeding, she had to go to the Lukavac Health Center. After an ultrasound scan, a doctor in the Health Center concludes that Senada must urgently go to the City Hospital in Tuzla for an emergency surgery. But in the Hospital Nasif and Senada are given a number of the hospital's bank account with the request for payment of 500 EUR. They have no money, but the rules are rules. Without a health insurance card and money, Senada returns home.

For 10 days, Nazif is trying to save Senda's life the best he can.
