Synopsis

A man (Christos Stergioglou) driving an old-fashioned car is crossing the border. He is Greek and has passed his fifties. He is coming to Bulgaria to buy a child. Jorgos has prepared a secret compartment in the boot of the car masked as a gas tank so that he could smuggle the child. The baby is not born yet and the Greek needs to wait in a secluded house in the mountains together with the mother (Mariana Jikich), her deaf-mute brother (Ovanes Torosian) and the midwife. The birth is starting in a stormy night.
