action
25-year-old Marja is the single mother of 7-year-old Julia. Marja is a newspaper deliverer, so she works at night while her daughter stays alone and sleeps; she spends the days with Julia. Marja's and Julia's life begins to change when Julia's father Kamaran, whom she doesn't know, by chance recognizes Marja and tries to get in touch with them. Marja denies paternity, while Kamaran tries to establish a relationship with Marja and especially Julia together with his wife.
Marja does everything to prevent contact and gets lost more and more in the obsession of having to protect her daughter. When Marja finally shoots her neighbor, with whom she is actually friends, she comes to insight and goes with Julia to the police, who gives them the phone number of Kamaran and asks to take Julia away from her.
