Five uniquely moving films about motherhood—bubbling up in the grocery store, the cemetery, or even a car ride—come together in this omnibus film set in Sarajevo.

In the shadows of sun soaked streets during yet another hot summer in Podgorica, a loving couple named Ksenija and Ljubo are expecting, with the pregnancy process being carefully watched over by the latter's two conservative aunts, with the soon-to-be mother struggling to fight back against their influence without much succsess. After the birth finally occurs, Ksenija falls into depression as she can't produce milk and the two women decide that their sphere of influence can't just stop at the womb.

Dunja and her boyfriend arrive in Belgrade. He leaves her alone for a second, when a too friendly local guy appears and refuses to leave her alone.

A young couple is living at his parents' apartment. Frustrated at not being able to provide for themselves, they fight. She decides something has to change.

After begging her to come back, Azra gets her daughter Lejla back at the airport. In the car, she tells her a surprising news and takes her to an unknown place where mother and daughter will revisit their roles.

Ivan, a young copywriter is faced with the pressures and expectations of his work and surroundings. He tries his best to reconcile both aspects of life, but it is not easy at all.

In the focus of Djurdjevic's only seemingly "simple" plot are three urban 30-year-olds, stuck somewhere on the first life curves - either because of an inferiority to an employed wife, or because of their inability to prove themselves through superficial sexual adventures, or the overwhelming urge to humiliate his friends behind the "mask" of innocent jokes. However, the equally important protagonist of the play "Don't Bet on the English" - the protagonist who is both inside and outside them - is one of the essential demons of human nature: a passion for gambling, more precisely betting. An emerging form of this obsessive passion is, for Djurdjevic's heroes, betting on the results of matches of various national football leagues.
