Olte focuses on thirteen years old Anastasia (Emma Skirmante), who lives in longings and illusions about her biological mother. Her mother also grew up in an orphanage and spent a large part of her life in prison, which also shows her as a victim of the Latvian social system. Lonely, unsupported and uneducated, this mother - Alla (Iveta Pole) - goes through life with nervous laughter echoing over the fates of her three abandoned daughters. Thoughts pervaded the film - You cannot give to another what you have not received yourself. You cannot create a world about whose existence you have no idea.
