Brief synopsis

Jenny only trusts her boyfriend Bolle. They share not only the high of crystal meth, but also the ambivalent anticipation of having a baby. When midwife Marla enters her life, Jenny faces her fears and experiences an emotional bond with her daughter for the first time - and a sense of self-determination. Only one decision is no longer in her hands.
