Logline

A world premiere: A generational portrait about predetermination and self-determination.

Gitte already has three children, and a fourth is on the way. Struggling to cope as a single parent, she’s at risk of losing her children because of her love of parties and alcohol. This is particularly hard on her nine-year-old daughter, Gina, who yearns for the warmth of a real family and refuses to accept a fate that is handed down to her.
