A young girl struggles to stand on her own two feet and overcome the traumas that have accompanied her since childhood. At the same time, she does everything in her power to help her brother, who suffers from mental retardation. Her only way out is the dreamy escape from the stifling reality through an unstoppable role-playing game, which gives her the breath of a new identity, free from incurable wounds. Gradually, he realizes that true liberation will come only if he looks the darkness in the eye.
