Brief synopsis

Four women, four stories about every day struggles. An episodic film about lack of communication.

Zulay (27) has a strange name that nobody can pronounce. But this is not her only problem on her first day of internship in a hospital. Nobody seems to have the time to explain her job to her.

Mila (30) and David (35) are on a boat trip. Mila is unhappy and feels irritated: her suncream has leaked everywhere and David always says the wrong thing. They start a pointless argument about other tourists on the boat.

Leonie (30) wants to try on a white dress in a fancy boutique, undisturbed. When Andrina, an acquaintance, comes in, Leonie disappears into a changing room to avoid her. But she cannot hide for long and an encounter is inevitable.

Ruth (55) and her daughter Mira (30) want to bury their dead cat in the woods. While they are searching for the perfect place, Ruth tries to get close to her daughter. But the more she tries, the greater the distance between them becomes.

After waiting, searching and a failed attempt to catch the attention of a nurse, Zulay hides in a patient’s room. She eats her packed lunch, reads the patient’s postcard on the bedside table and helps herself to one of her chocolate truffles…
