Marija is an ice skater who lives with her father, a lorry driver, on the outskirts of Belgrade. Crushed by grief because her mother died three years ago, Marija cannot express her flaming sexuality without feeling unworthy. When Marija’s father gets close to a woman and moves in with her two daughters, Marija supports him but realizes that she cannot trust her new stepmother.
Due to financial troubles, Marija is forced to make extra money for her family. She wants to protect her father by hiding her job that introduces her to a world in which women are sexually exploited, and that puts even more pressure on her suppressed sexuality. She can no longer confide in her father. Her stepmother starts having anger outbursts that escalate into physical abuse, and Marija has to give up ice skating. She feels trapped.
The love of one of the most desirable young businessmen will give her the strength to accept herself and her sexuality.
