Description
Nina works as a gynecologist in the only hospital of a small Georgian village. She is unconditionally dedicated to her patients, even if it means occasionally bending the rules. But when a newborn dies under her supervision, she is accused of negligence. As an internal investigation unfolds, Nina’s entire life is scrutinized, forcing her to question the choices she has made.
