A Roma family lives in the Bosnia-Herzegovina countryside. Nazif salvages metal from old cars, selling it to a scrapmetal-dealer. His partner, Senada, is a housewife who looks after their two small daughters. One day, she feels an acute stomach pain. At the hospital, she is told her unborn child has died and, to prevent septicaemia, she should have an operation urgently. However, without funds or insurance, they cannot afford treatment. The couple seek desperately to raise the necessary funds before it is too late.
