The film raises the controversial bioethical topics giving cause for conservation about fundamental human values and still being an example of original approach of the artist. It tells a story about rediscovering the world by bringing new life into it and as such is an affirmation of life itself. The main character, Irina, slowly learns how to love and forgive.
