This is a story about Katya, a young woman who works as a welder. Abandoned as a little girl, she embarks on a personal journey to reunite with her lost family – to weld it back together, just like she welds metal at work. Despite pain and disappointment, Katya tries to protect her beloved little sister from a tragic fate, hoping for a better future for the both of them.
