Plot synopsis

Russia has been struggling with the problem of abortion for a long time now. Although the number of women who decided to terminate pregnancy has gone down in the recent years, this kind of practice is still common. The camera set up in the hospital waiting room captures the behaviour of women who, mainly because of insufficient funds, made this difficult decision. Emotions expressed on their faces reflect the desperate situation of women who might need to come back to the cold hospital waiting room again.
