SYNOPSIS
An exceptionally beautiful middle-aged woman tries to understand her past and identity using alternative methods and therapies, hoping to find meaning in her life, unravel family relationships, and comprehend her deep sense of sadness and loneliness. For several years, Kristina has turned to esotericism to overcome her anxieties and the guilt she feels for her immediate family not understanding and respecting her decisions and her desire to be happy. Living away from her closest relatives in Belgrade, she earns a living, yearning to find what has always been missing: someone who will respect her, care for her, and love her for who she is.
