Georgiana is left in charge of her six siblings in a social housing condo on the outskirts of Bacau, Romania. Caught between adolescence and the responsibilities of adulthood, Georgiana does the best she can, improvising with parenting advice from the television and the occasional phone call with her mother.

With incredible calm and stoicism, Georgiana amazes as she holds everything together in an ingenious and delicate balance.
