Synopsis

Iva is a single mother of a five-year-old girl and Hedi is her new neighbor. Iva falls desperately in love with Hedi (played by the director herself) and the two women begin a tumultuous relationship. Suddenly Iva’s father appears, and Hedi feels strongly attracted to him. It seems that only one world exists for Hedi. Her own. But what are Hedi's ultimate goals? Love? Or the freedom to take everything and everyone she wants? Classic gender roles get a total makeover in this debut from German-Mongolian director Uisenma BORCHU. What does it mean to love? Is it always connected with sacrifice and oppression?
