In 1981 Vienna, Perla, an exiled artist and single mother, struggles to support her daughter, Julia, a talented young pianist. When Julia’s father, Andrej, claims to be seriously ill, Perla makes the dangerous journey back to communist Czechoslovakia, only to discover that he wants to force his way back into their lives. Pulled between past and present, Perla begins making reckless choices that jeopardise her future with her daughter.
