The film tells, like a fable, the struggle of a young woman to protect her unborn child which she believes is a miracle, an immaculate conception.

In the heart of the Danube Delta, superstition and religion blend together, like the earth and the water that make up the mysterious mud from Tekir's area, not far away. Chased away from her village because of her mysterious pregnancy, Mara finds herself employed at the Tekir Hotel, providing treatment for infertile women using this miraculous mud. As she meets the rich and eccentric Mrs. Lili, Mara questions her beliefs and intuitions. The relationship between the two women is the key of the miracle of Tekir, between magic and power, tradition and modernity.—AnonymousB
