The line separating reality and fiction is erased in this film-within-a-film about a shy actor portraying a brave hero.

A childless family adopts a child to raise. The husband takes good care of the baby, but his wife tries to avoid the responsibilities of the mother and finally, taking advantage of her husband's absence, she takes the baby back. In the second family, the situation is the opposite - Lia wants to adopt a baby, but her careless husband prevents her.
