Plot
Rudina, a married middle-aged mother, is overburdened with responsibilities. In addition to working as a seamstress in a local factory, she is taking care of her old in-laws, while her demanding husband works abroad and they only see each other once a year. She is also single-handedly raising their five year old son, Orion.
Rudina is expecting her sister Elma to come back from Italy, where she lives and works, so that they can go and visit their father in their home village, on the anniversary of their mother's death. But when Elma arrives on the ferry from Bari, Rudina is shocked to see that she is pregnant. It will certainly be a problem for the old head of the family to see his unmarried daughter with a child on the way.
The two sisters, along with Orion, get on the road and come up with the idea to enlist an old friend of Elma's to pretend to be her husband during their visit.[4][5]
