Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives we may not see the tragedy that can fall upon our closest ones. This story has actually happened in a regular Ukrainian family. Varya is a young 30 year old successful career woman. Despite her living with her mother in the same apartment, they don't talk much to each other because of Varya's often lengthy business trips. Being in the midst of her everlasting issues, Varya usually doesn't have time to listen to her mom. In Varya's absence, the mother was diagnosed with cancer. And only when Varya sees mom without hair, her life priorities fall in place. Actions speak louder than words. In order to support her dear mother, Varya shaves her head.
Marina and Andriy are an adult couple and have been trying to have a child for a long time. Their relationship has become cold, closed, and sex is becoming a technical process on a schedule between getting medications. Despite the conscientious implementation of all doctors appointments, Marina has spontaneous abortion. The main question between Marina and Andriy is whether they will be able to have a child at all and whether they need each other, looking at what their relationship has become.
For several months now, in a residential area of the city, residents of a house have been waking up at 5am to the sound of a rooster crowing on Viktor and Anna's balcony. At breakfast, the wife gives her husband an ultimatum: he must remove the rooster and finish the renovations by her anniversary.
Marina is a 35-year-old woman from Odessa. Daughter, wife, mother and breadwinner of the whole family. Despite the frequent change in life of black and white stripes, she never gives up. The father's illness decays all relatives, but not Marina, for her this is another new test.
