When seamstress Ana places a cake on the kitchen table, her adolescent daughter Ivana just shakes her head and turns away. Her husband Jovan also wants her to drop the subject. With this gesture, Ana celebrates the birthday of her son who, according to the hospital, died immediately after he was born. He would be 18 years old now. With obsession and perseverance, she is fighting one last time against the police, the bureaucracy and even her own family, in order to uncover the truth.
