A mother by the name of Asia toils as a nurse, in between sexual encounters with a married doctor in a car. Her daughter Vika hangs out at a skate park, flirts, smokes and drinks. When diagnosed with an incurable disease, Vika continues her pleasure-seeking lifestyle instead of holding back. Asia becomes her unreasonable daughter’s ally. Sensitive and raw in equal measure, this drama has won multiple awards worldwide. In particular, the acting performances of Shira Haas (The Unorthodox) as Vika and Alena Yif as Asia are enthralling.
