Brief synopsis

»Lena is pregnant. She doesn't quite know yet whether she should keep the child or not. Nevertheless, she begins to furnish the nursery, but only with items she finds in the "To Give Away" category of the classifieds. The encounters at the doorsteps reflect loneliness in all its facets and influence Lena to tackle the biggest decision of her life so far.«
