1979 es un año difícil para Boryana. Hermosa y rebelde, está harta de las dificultades del comunismo; desprecia a su madre y sueña con escapar a Italia. Fuma cigarros americanos y bebe Coca-Cola a escondidas en el baño, mientras hace planes para abandonar su país. Aunque es consciente de que todos estos sueños son inútiles si se queda embarazada y toma todas las precauciones que puede, sucede lo inevitable. En 1979, da a luz a Viktoria, un niña que nace sin cordón umbilical y, por tanto, sin ombligo. Para Boryana, su hija significa un impedimento para poder dejar atrás su pesadilla, especialmente cuando la criatura tiene apenas algunas semanas y Todor Zhivkov, líder del Partido Comunista, la elige como 'Bebé de la Década'. Nada parecía indicar que el crecimiento de Viktoria iría de manera paralela al de la decadencia del comunismo búlgaro (FILMAFFINITY)
