Mira (Dorota Pomykala) is a 60-year-old mother, wife and midwife who appears to have a normal life. One morning, she starts her day like any other. Mira wakes up early, puts her family’s clothes out to dry, purchases food for her fish and commits a bank robbery with a kitchen knife. This unexpected act breaks her family and life apart and she is forced to look within to discover what she must change to ensure a more fulfilling life. She discovers her need for money is surpassed only by her need for love.

Inspired by a true story, Director Anna Jadowskais has crafted an incredibly patient, moving, entertaining and emotionally impactful story about ageing, love and life.
