On the night of her birthday celebration, Cornelia, a well-connected and wealthy architect, learns that her beloved son, Barbu, is involved in a deadly car accident. Inevitably, this unfortunate incident will mark the rekindling of an already difficult mother-son relationship, where the shifting of powers between an overprotecting and almost suffocating mother, and a pampered but trapped son who wants to break free, is always in favour of the mother. Now, more than ever--amid facts and their manipulation, reality and the bending of truth--this meddling but caring mother will unleash the unstoppable force of a woman determined to do anything for her child, even if all seems lost. Who can stand in the way of a mother's love?
