A family of five lives together in an old village house. They take life as it goes. The parents are getting older, the children are growing up. The unchanging rhythm of their daily lives is disrupted by the unexpected news that their mother is pregnant. A "slow cinema" intimate family portrait bringing moments of remarkable authenticity and quiet poetry.

« Repka employs a slow-cinema approach that emphasises the minutiae of everyday life. Instead of relying on a traditional plot structure, he focuses on observational details, employing a documentary-like style free from dramatisation. » (Cineuropa)
