Dok njezin partner Igor i njegova porodica odbijaju preuzeti odgovornost za bebu, njen otac Stamen, umirovljeni  tvornički radnik, nagovara Milenu da napusti Igora i vrati se kući, nudeći jojopciju zajedničkog odgajanja djeteta.

Her aspirations and plans for the future are challenged when she gives birth to a baby with a rare genetic condition called cat’s cry syndrome. While her partner Igor and his family refuse to take responsibility for the baby, Milena’s father Stamen, a retired factory worker, urges her to leave Igor and return home, offering to raise the child with her. Overwhelmed and fearful of her future, Milena disappears. Now, Stamen and his new wife must fight a flawed social system for custody of their granddaughter while Milena struggles to find her own way forward.
