A film about contemporary society's prejudiced attitude towards prisoners. This attitude causes some inmates to return to prison as a safer, more stable and more understanding environment. This is also the opinion of the film's main character, Svetlana, who has spent most of her life in prison, where she has gained the reputation of an authoritative figure, but outside prison she has nothing. Thanks to the support of the Liepaja Rehabilitation Center, Svetlana and other former prisoners admit that there is now hope of integrating into society, finding work, meeting like-minded and understanding people who can help them overcome the difficult period of adaptation when they have to start taking care of their own lives again.
