A little girl and a socialist orphanage. It is a strict children’s institution. How to overcome fears, insecurity and loneliness? To do this, the girl creates another self to talk to and argue with. And, of course, the dream of America where everything is beautiful and good. Where her father lives and waits for her. A girl and her foster family. There’s plenty of everything, but it doesn’t feel right. Emma’s trials don’t end there. Again and again, she must find the strength to hope, the stamina to live.

Hoping to keep his recently fractured family together, David takes his children, Klára and Teo, on holiday to the Adriatic. There, teenage Klára, who struggles with an eating disorder, falls in love with a local boy, Denis. When Denis is accused of murder, Klára's condition worsens, and she ends up in hospital. The desire to save her is the only thing that unites her parents, and crisis situations call for drastic measures.
