Nina (Ia Sukhitashvili) is a skilled obstetrician at a maternity hospital in Eastern Georgia. After a tragedy strikes in the delivery room, the grief-stricken father demands an inquiry into her methods. The resulting scrutiny threatens to bring to light Nina’s other, secret job – driving, through the stunningly beautiful countryside, to the village homes of pregnant girls and women to provide unsanctioned abortions – and to destroy the work that is the only source of meaning in her life.

Dea Kulumbegashvili's highly anticipated second feature won the Special Jury Prize at Venice Film Festival and reunites Kulumbegashvili with key collaborators from her debut feature Beginning, including award-winning actors Ia Sukhitashvili and Kakha Kintsurashvili. The producers include Luca Guadagnino, with renowned cinematographer Arseni Khachaturan (Bones and All) and British experimental composer Matthew Herbert (The Wonder, Starve Acre) bringing their distinctive talents to the film.
