Synopsis:

Pia is an ophthalmologist, trying to find her way after a childless marriage has ended. Her ex-husband has moved on and has already found a new wife, who is able to have children. Pia has the “good girl syndrome” – a successful career, helps her mother and sister, takes care of her best friend’s child and has little time to think of herself. She yearns for a relationship and a child. Seemingly she finds the perfect man, but she is cautious. At the same time strange things start happening around her and it seems like some outside force is trying to protect her to the point of violence. She is told that she is pregnant but it is not biologically possible. Who or what has impregnated her? She searches for answers, fruitlessly, and concludes that everything cannot be explained in life. The most important thing is to take care of the child inside her and the loved ones around her.
