A few days before the ceremony of First Communion, Mula (Anna Krotoska), Michał (Rafał Cieluch), and their small daughter Nina, have a strange visitor. It is Kaja (Małgorzata Szczerbowska), Mula's younger sister and biological mother of Nina, who has not contacted the family for many years. To the family, her behaviour is becoming more and more suspicious. As if that was not enough, a series of strange events takes place, which nobody can explain. The church ceremony is at hand, while the atmosphere between the sisters is becoming tense. Will Kaja try to win her daughter back? There is a different, more important reason for Kaja to return, as we will soon find out...
