The film tells a story of a single mother Madina.
Her day-to-day routine is a battle for survival with lack of confidence in the present and lack of hope in the future. In trying to earn a living for her small family - an old grandmother, a withdrawn little brother and a two years old daughter - Madina is ready to go against her moral principles. The cold winter inside that froze her feelings seems to never end until one day her brother makes a shocking revelation. The knowledge about abuse to which he had been subjected as a child changes everything to Madina and breaks the ice that covered her soul.
