SYNOPSIS
Lena, a 20-year-old woman, lives in a small, crowded apartment in Athens, filled with chaos and unspoken tension. Caught between family expectations, poverty, and her desire for independence, her days follow a monotonous rhythm: working at a supermarket, enduring family conflicts, and living without personal space. Her dream is simple – to move out and start a life on her own terms, far from the toxic environment she grew up in.
This fragile balance collapses when Lena loses her job. Almost simultaneously, she discovers she is pregnant. In a world where nothing is certain, the new life growing inside her becomes both a burden and a possibility.
