A poor migrant woman in Moscow struggles with her life.

A young Kyrgyz girl, Ayka, lives and works illegally in Moscow. After giving birth to her first child, she doesn't feed the infant but stages an impromptu breakout through the window of the maternity ward. Over the course of the next few days, she goes searching for a job all the while trying to keep the birth secret. She finds work at a chicken processing facility, only to learn that her boss has decided to skip town without paying his employees. This sets in motion a new wave of anxiety for the young woman, who needs to pay off her menacing creditors. While searching for a way to make money, her motherly yearning leads her to desperate attempts at finding the abandoned child.—Happy_Evil_Dude
