Storyline

Two women connected by one baby and one accident. Two women separated by hatred, guilt and anger. Two women facing each other and ready to fight till the end.

Irena (24) is a woman from a small mining town in Eastern Bulgaria. Together with her husband Sasho (33), her mother, sister, the sister's husband and their baby, she lives in a small room in the town's suburbs. Sasho is a miner and Irena works in the mine's canteen. The owner of the mine, Christian (35), and his wife Eva (34), offer Irena a large sum of money and a spacious flat in a newly built residential block if she agrees to carry their baby. It should all be kept secret as surrogacy is illegal in Bulgaria. Without a word to anyone, Irena and Sasho accept the offer, hoping that it will help them get rid of the poverty and misery they live in. Irena gets pregnant. She receives half of the cash and the keys to the flat. Three month later she and Sasho begin to furnish their new home. But the more Irena's belly grows, the more distant her husband becomes. Their relationship is shattered...
