Daryna, a migrant from Ukraine, working as a maid in a well-off Italian household, comes back to her family and feels torn apart between those two different lives. The director, in a very subtle way, stresses out how the relations and necessities of the different characters are driven by money. Daryna's struggle for dignity as a woman, mother and wife fuels a process where all her environment undergoes some deep changes. Taking place during Easter, her faithfulness to where she comes from, helps her to be at peace with her life.
