An elegant doctor named Ingrid works in the mid-1980s at a remote provincial hospital. Trapped in an exhausted marriage and stalled career, she devotes most of her time to her patients - delivering babies and ending unwanted pregnancies. She also performs sterilizations on Romani women without their full understanding of the consequences.

A new friendship with a young nurse Agata prompts Ingrid to see things differently and begin questioning the rules she has hitherto followed without concern. Ivan Ostrochovský's drama opens an unresolved chapter of Czechoslovak history, when the state decided whether people could have children.
