Young Nina wakes up in the entrance of a building, her dress torn, her face aching from bruises. It doesn't come back to her right away, but she remembers: the man she loved turned out to be a criminal and a scoundrel. And she must not let him see her under any circumstances.
Nina cannot return home: it's dangerous, and she had a terrible quarrel with her mother during their last meeting. So what is she supposed to do now?
In the same building lives elderly Carmela: the last local representative of what used to be a large family, the younger scion of which has been living in America for several years now. More than anything in the world, Carmela misses her son and granddaughter, whom she sometimes struggles to remember due to dementia…
So when Carmela mistakes Nina for her beloved granddaughter, it changes the lives of several families at once.
Full of domestic tragedy and psychology, this story explores all the facets of a woman in the modern world, the daily obstacles, and how true support helps to overcome everything.
