Written by the director, the script centres on Lydia, a young thirtysomething with a brilliant career as a midwife. But her love life is a disaster. Just as she tries to recover from a painful breakup, her best friend Salomé announces she is pregnant and asks her to be her midwife. When Lydia re-crosses paths with Milos, a lover from a one-night stand, she is holding Salomé’s baby in her arms, and declares the child to be theirs. Although initially disbelieving, Milos embraces fatherhood, and Lydia locks herself in her lie, even as she risks losing everything…
