It is a heavy, uncomfortable but a sensitive and heart-warming film.

It takes its slow motions from the beginning as the scene is in a woman prison in Odessa. We get to know sentenced women who has killed someone. Either the cheating husband or his lover.

They all have a child. Most of them gave birth during their prison time.

We can follow the absurdity, cruelty of their life as well as their children in prison and the guards.

At the end we can experience a reliving moment as how life, humanity, emotions, woman towards a child can raise above all hardship that life brings especially in an ex-communist country Ukraine.

The first two minutes of the film are unneeded and can be easily removed without any (negative) impact to the film.

I was able to watch it only for about 35 minutes, because it was boring. It is not a film which has a story and it is not a document which describe feelings of women and their everyday life. It would be really better to see this interesting topic as a documentary film without trying to make it as a "film".

Film was presented with subtitles, which is not bad at all, subtitles were white color, but background was too bright, so sometimes it was impossible to read them.
