Andy, Petra, and Bára. Three women who come together in the penitentiary of Světlá nad Sázavou, which created a special block for mothers with children. The main idea behind it is that maternal love can be a very powerful motivation for women to lead a better and more responsible life. All three women yearn for freedom, but will they learn how to live with it, when the certainties of life behind the bars will be replaced by a lack of work opportunities, concerns about children, and the struggle to fit in society?
