In a way that is both expressive and loaded with emotions, the film shows the daily struggles of a young couple, living in a poor environment and confronted with a pregnancy that was not planned. The efforts of the couple to rise above the limits of their environment are shown in a way that is realistic as well as poetic. The director emphazises the respect for life, the dignity of man and conveys a hope for the future.
