The film is a tale told from the point of view of 3 women. A compilation of three distinct stories, revolving around three women - Maara, Elina and Luna Lee. All these stories talk about different facets of love, marriage, and relationship.
Maara, a bride to be is facing troubles of certain age old customs when it's just next day, she is going to start a new life.
Elina, a woman of no country marries a man in Estonia for the basic necessity of protection. Will the 'fake' marriage be revealed? or will it become something real?
Luna Lee is fed up of everything around her. As she runs away from it, she begins to witness more and more failure in relationships around her. What lies beyond all this emptiness? Will God really answer her?
Spread across three different time periods, common link between the three short stories is the leading character: Maara, Elina and Luna Lee are all played by the same actress.
