Synopsis
Mukhabbat lives and toils in a typical convenience store on the outskirts of Moscow. Just like other workers in the store, her dedication does not accord with her salary, and she is not allowed to take even a short break. Mukhabbat puts an end to this situation when the owner of the store abducts her newborn son. Overcoming despair and fear, Mukhabbat wins back freedom and saves the other workers, although this obliges her to leave Russia. Back at home, in Uzbekistan, Mukhabbat starts fighting to get her child back at any cost. She faces a lot of challenges along the way, dealing with pain and loss, without ceasing to adopt compromises from which she will hardly break free.
