A young mother, Irina, fleeing from a poisonous relationship, seeks safety from her grandmother’s house. Instead of protection she is greeted by her grandma’s hostility
towards her needs. In the midst of a raging summer storm the two women of different generations have to face the consequences of repressing one’s feelings for too long.
