When a coworker disappears, worry spreads among the janitorial staff of the university. Flora (25) is the most distressed of them all. Flora is a loner, sometimes awkward or even rude, but very perceptive. She lives with her grumpy grandmother and is having an affair with Bonian (27), a sensitive gardener with a true passion for botany.
One stormy evening, Flora is getting completely soaked, when Helga (30), a bright teaching candidate, finds her and offers her a lift. Helga is also feeling stressed, due to her new job and insecure relationship with her boyfriend Ares (42), but also, Flora discovers that she is hiding a transparent stain growing in her chest. A deep friendship begins: despite their socio-economic and personal differences, they can be themselves with each other.
The more the stain grows in Helga’s chest, the closer they become. It is therefore shocking when Helga decides to go back to Ares at a moment when Flora needs her. The betrayal reopens a wound Flora thought had healed. Helga goes back home only to find Ares abusing her trust, and her body turns even more transparent. But Flora decides not to let another friend disappear and together with Bonian they help Helga escape to a house in the woods where women have come to heal.
