SYNOPSIS

Cristiano is living with Anna and he's in love with her, but he is afraid of losing her because he can’t give her a child. Cristiano suggests to Anna to foster a "Chernobyl Child." That’s how Viktor arrives in their home for 90 days. Cristiano quickly finds a connection with the little boy and so does Anna. But traumas from the past resurface haunting the couple. Pressures from the family environment become more and more unbearable and Cristiano’s frustration bursts out in a rage as he desperately tries to be a good father.
