Elena, a young woman born and raised in the countryside, with a "basic" education, tries to find a way to overcome her condition. She goes to Bucharest and takes an exam at the Faculty of Journalism, where she is admitted. Nevertheless, she is still under the strict supervision of her mother, who checks on her by phone every day, "bullying" her with more or less useful advice. Elena realizes that her only chance to graduate from faculty in such a big city and to break away from her home place is to get another job. An opportunity arises and she accepts a collaboration that brings her a financial boost. Unfortunately, this new job puts Elena in front of some delicate situations. She realizes the compromises people make to get a job and a position in a flawed/corrupt society.
