Michal and Zuska live in a beautiful home in a peaceful suburb with their two-year-old daughter Dominika. Michal has a successful career, but feels overworked; he’s been under quite a bit of pressure lately.

On his way to work, Michal drops his little daughter off at daycare and drives on, heading for yet another stressful workday. In the afternoon, he receives a call from his wife Zuska at daycare: Dominika isn't there. Then Michal knows: his little daughter has been left behind in the summer heat of his car.
