A wealthy young couple has a different lifestyle than a neighboring middle-aged couple, but both face intimate issues that impact their private lives.

Three Macedonian women have to contend with control over their bodies, tradition, loyalty, pregnancy and adoption. They have not set out to change the world or society, but their struggle to become mothers makes them unlikely heroines. The three bittersweet stories, one medieval, two contemporary, mirror and contrast one another, exploring themes of love, trust and motherhood.

In the dead of night, a Macedonian teenager sneaks out to meet a 40-year-old man he’s been messaging online. When their car gets stuck in the remote woods, isolation strips away fantasy, forcing him to reckon with power, desire, and the possibility of real danger.

On what seems like an ordinary day, a young doctor faces an unexpected challenge that disrupts her routine. As she struggles to protect a young child from the dysfunctional healthcare system, she risks her career and her own well- being. Trained to accept the flaws of the system, the doctor is forced to confront a deeper, more personal question: can one individual make a change, or is it necessary to have support from others?

After a rough night out protesting in the city, Kosta and Maja fall in the hands of the police. Their lives will change forever.
