In this triptych, director Vuk Janic examines how the attitude of parents towards (the first part of) the first commandment I, the Lord, am your God is determined by their children´s fates. A woman, who has become pregnant after a long period of doubt and perseverance, cherishes a vague but hopeful belief in a Something, befitting the still unborn child. The parents in the second story, however, started doubting God after their 9-year-old son drowned in a pool. Conversely, in the final story, a couple praises the Lord, because their toddler was miraculously saved by a passer-by who caught him after falling from a balcony. They are all ordinary people who suddenly found themselves in extraordinary situations. Janic demonstrates that particularly emotion, not ideology or tradition, determines the struggle with higher things.
