A man driving an old-fashioned car is crossing the border. He is Greek and has passed his fifties. He is coming to Bulgaria to buy a child.

The baby is not born yet and the Greek needs to wait in a secluded house in the mountains together with the mother, her deaf-mute brother and the midwife. The birth is starting in a stormy night.
