Daniela and Yotam, a young loving couple, arrive excitedly at the hospital, expecting the birth of their twin daughters. While they are forced to wait long hours at the busy and chaotic maternity ward, Daniela's anticipation gradually turns into real and deep fear. Happiness turns into exhaustion and stress; overwhelmed with examinations, labor inductions, and other birthing mothers surrounding her, Daniela experiences a loss of control, as if she were a product in an assembly line. As the big moment of becoming into a family arrives, Daniela, feeling broken both physically and mentally, struggles to find the strength to go on.
