One widow, two wives, three families and... a stork.
This is a bitter-sweet tale that starts with suicide. In a sleepy village in Montenegro, close to the border with Albania, most of the natives immigrated to the USA. They come back only for the summer, and their huge new luxury houses which are empty throughout the year, finally come alive. Those who stayed home are thorn between worshiping the lives of their relatives in America and surviving in a confined and very traditional society.
In this picturesque village, our story follows three women fighting for their rights to live their lives on their own terms and here the story unfolds: Suta, in her mid-forties, is a beautiful woman. Nobody knows the reason why her husband took his own life, nor does Suta herself. After her husband's suicide, Suta is confronted with her husband's mother who insists on getting married to the other twin, autistic son of hers, Malush. This intent comes from the village mentality that believes that a woman's life is over when her husband dies. While grieving for her loss and trying to find out the reasons behind her husband's suicide, Suta finds the strength to take life into her own hands.
