Synopsis

For 14 years, Helena Třeštíková followed her subjects Katka, Lada and Jana through their world of drugs,
prison, love and responsibility. They live on the streets in Prague, hustling for drugs, stealing, attempting
murder. Lada and Jana end up in prison. Katka ends up expecting a child. Will she manage to overcome
this most difficult battle of her life? This is not a film about drug abuse, but a film about the replenishing
power of life, about values and their price, about mothers and their relationship with their children.
