Latvia, late 1920s. Anna, a young woman, pretty and educated, falls in love with an entrepreneur who is 30 years her senior. But with marriage comes great jealousy, and the entrepreneur hides Anna away in the forest, where she bears him eight children. Through the Great Depression and multiple invasions, Anna is a pillar of strength, defying the hardships, raising her young and teaching them how to survive. Years later, young artist Signe asks her father how her grandmother died, suspecting that she committed suicide. Struggling with depression herself - and with three female cousins fighting the same battle - Signe embarks on a journey to confront the family's hidden demons.
