13 year old Elli (Creator/AnukSteffen) suffers from a heart disease. She will die soon as there is no heart donor in sight. But there is hope as the doctors want to transplant her a genetically modified pig heart. It is her only chance, but she refuses -- being a vegan, there is no way another living creature has to die for her. Her mother, Maja (Natalia Christina Rudziewicz), is willing to do literally anything to convince her to take the heart.
