A young woman waits at home with her baby for the boy's return. When he arrives, he announces that he is leaving and never coming back. She begs, reasons, and yells frantically to get him to stay. Afraid to go outside, she knows that if he leaves she and the baby won't live. The boy is sure that if he stays he will die. Two people who desperately crave what the other cannot give, and the lengths to which people will go to survive.
