While supermarket employee Monika’s dreams are built around the hope that she will someday venture to America to be with her boyfriend, George, Tonik secretly pines for Monika, and single mother Dasha finds comfort in the arms of a married man while slowly drifting from reality. As Tonik fless his conservative parents to live on the farm of his eccentric aunt, Dasha’s grip on reality finally slips — leaving her two young children in the care of Tonik and Monika.
