Zerda is a young woman convicted of killing her lover and has unwillingly become a mother. Esra, her deceased lover’s wife, has a sick daughter. The only solution for her daughter's recovery is a compatible marrow from Zerda's child. Esra visits her in the prison to convince Zerda, but the furious woman refuses to collaborate. Negotiations between the two become increasingly tense, exposing all the emotional wounds. Concepts such as motherhood, love, crime and womanhood are deeply questioned.
