Olka is seventeen years old, tomboyish, with large eyes hidden behind her hair. She bites her nails, and her hands bear the marks of self-harm. For years, she had been looking for her mother.

Constant escapes from the orphanage, landing herself in a reformatory; she lives there, but is in another world. Unlike the other girls, she does not care for hipster clothes or the newest smartphone, and doesn't want to provide sexual services to the guard for a smoke. She only wants her mother back.

In Polish with English subtitles.
