Hala lives with a deep fear of abandonment following the death of her father when she was 18. After giving birth, she suffers from postnatal depression and has made several suicide attempts, always leaving a small possibility that someone might save her. When her loving husband, who has always supported her, is imprisoned following a mistake at work, Hala is left alone with her depression, her thoughts and their six-month-old daughter. Forced to take responsibility for her child and her husband while confronting her fears without any moral support, she must find the inner strength to face herself and the reality around her.
