Marjan, 25, elämän keskipiste on hänen 7-vuotias tyttärensä Julia. Marja työskentelee öisin, jotta hän voi viettää päivät Julian kanssa leikkien ja satuja kertoen. Kaksikon harmonia rikkoutuu, kun he kohtaavat Kamaranin, iranilaisen maahanmuuttajan, jonka kanssa Marjalla on ollut suhde ja joka uskoo olevansa Julian isä.

Marja tries to make ends meet by taking night shifts in a newspaper delivery service, apparently mostly carried out by foreigners. During the day, she sleeps and strives to raise her little daughter as best as she can. As a single parent and lacking a solid income, life is a constant struggle. Things are about to go from bad to worse when she meets her ex-boyfriend whose obsessive demeanour about whether he is the father of Marja´s child will drive her to the edge of sanity.
