The Danish-Iranian filmmaker Roja is in the most difficult period of her 36-year-old life. She is pregnant with her son Oskar and is diagnosed with incurable cancer. In the midst of all this, she must try to find herself. The film is her journey filmed over six dramatic years, where she unfilteredly documents her everyday life and her thoughts about living with an illness that can cost her everything. Because how should one live when one's precious time on Earth can run out far too soon? However, Roja is the last to feel sorry for herself. She immerses herself in being present, and then she sets out to chart her Iranian origins and her family's dramatic history, which opened a new chapter when her politically engaged parents fled Iran after the revolution and ended up in Denmark.
