The current Lithuania's Vilnius. Perfectionist 29-year-old Ilona feels pressure to be successful and settled by the time she is 30. She starts to wonder how she really wants to live at this pivotal moment in her life. She and her lover Matas move into what looks to be the ideal apartment, and things are starting to become serious. However, when the building's renovations get underway, Ilona's inner doubts gradually come to light. She unexpectedly becomes acquainted with Oleg, a construction worker from Ukraine. Her doubts about whether she truly wants to settle down and establish a family are heightened by their relationship.

ಇಂದಿನ ಲಿಥುವೇನಿಯಾದ ವಿಲ್ನಿಯಸ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ, ಎಲ್ಲದರಲ್ಲೂ ನಿಖರತೆಯನ್ನು ಬಯಸುವ ಸ್ವಭಾವದ 29 ವರ್ಷದ ಇಲೋನಾ, 30ರೊಳಗೆ ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾಗಿ ಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿರಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಒತ್ತಡವನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ತನ್ನ ಬದುಕನ್ನು ನಿಜವಾಗಿ ಹೇಗೆ ಬದುಕಬೇಕು ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ, ಅವಳ ಜೀವನದ ಈ ನಿರ್ಣಾಯಕ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವಳನ್ನು ಕಾಡತೊಡಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವಳು ತನ್ನ ಪ್ರೇಮಿ ಮಾತಾಸ್ ಜೊತೆ ಇದೇನು ಕನಸೇ ಎನ್ನುವಂತಿರುವ ಹೊಸ ಅಪಾರ್ಟ್‌ಮೆಂಟ್‌ಗೆ ಸ್ಥಳಾಂತರವಾಗುತ್ತಾಳೆ; ಅವರ ಸಂಬಂಧವೂ ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವಂತೆಯೇ ತೋರುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಕಟ್ಟಡದ ನವೀಕರಣ ಆರಂಭವಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಂತೆ, ಇಲೋನಾಳ ಒಳಗಿನ ಸಂಶಯಗಳು ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಮೇಲಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ, ಉಕ್ರೇನಿನಿಂದ ಬಂದಿರುವ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಒಲೆಗ್‌ನ ಪರಿಚಯ ಅವಳಿಗೆ ಅನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿತವಾಗಿ ದೊರಕುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಬೆಳೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಸಂಬಂಧ, ತಾನು ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಉಳಿಯಬೇಕೆ, ಕುಟುಂಬ ಕಟ್ಟಬೇಕೆ ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಇಲೋನಾಳೊಳಗೆ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ತೀವ್ರಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
