Tania and Ivan, her 14 year-old son, are illegal immigrants from Russia, who have been living in Belgium for 8 years. In a permanent state of alert, Tania lives in constant fear of having her identity checked by the police- until the day she is arrested. The mother and the son are separated. Tania is placed in a holding centre. She does everything in her power to find her son again, in spite of the constant threat hanging over her head.
