Desperate to escape her past in Slovakia and start anew, 23-year-old Alžběta works as an au pair in Dublin, Ireland. Unsettled by news that her family home back in Slovakia is slated for demolition to build a motorway, Alžběta clings fiercely to her precarious independence in the city. Her older sister, 27-year-old Tina, lives a far more stable life in Dublin with her 30-year-old Irish fiancé, Steve. Though Tina repeatedly tries to assist Alžběta with money and shelter out of a sense of guilt and familial obligation, Alžběta bitterly rejects her help. Beneath the tension lies an unspoken, buried secret from their childhood that binds the two sisters in a toxic cycle of love, jealousy, and emotional dependency. As Alžběta navigates volatile romantic encounters and casual relationships in search of security, the unresolved past forces both sisters into a raw confrontation with the trauma they have tried to run from.
