Irina is a part-time waitress in a small Bulgarian town. On the same day when she is fired, her husband gets into a serious accident. Irina's family is trapped in poverty. To make ends meet, she becomes a surrogate mother. Conflict, despair, and Irina being with child brings on another wave of challenges to Irina's already rough situation. Slowly, Irina discovers what it means to love and to forgive.
Irina contacted a wealthy couple living in Sofia and made a deal with them. Once she gave birth to the child, she promised to give it to them within three days.
A fertilized egg from a wealthy couple was transferred to Irina's uterus, and she successfully became pregnant. The couple interfered, telling her not to do manual labor, eat meat, and drink alcohol. Knowing that the fetus was male, they got excited about the color of the clothes and shoes, as well as the color of the rooms and furniture, to be blue. Irina got frustrated at being treated like a commodity and suggested an abortion. The couple tried to win over her by offering a luxury apartment in Sofia. Her husband Sasho, on the other hand, was dissatisfied with Irina because she was often away from home, and told her not to come back if she would go to Sofia again.
Her due date was approaching. The fetus energetically kicked the uterus. A wealthy wife was pleased when the fetus's face resembled her own in a 3D ultrasound. But Irina had changed her mind that she did not want to give up her child. Finding out about this, the wealthy wife became furious. At that moment, water broke and she watched anxiously as Irina went into labor. Irina eventually gave the baby, who was born healthy, to the couple, and she headed home. Tears flowed endlessly from her eyes. By the time she arrived home, where her husband and child were waiting for her, her tears had dried.
