Evangelička svećenica Jana nalazi se na važnoj prekretnici, suočena sa životnom dilemom: hoće li napustiti svećeništvo i tako prekinuti dugu obiteljsku tradiciju svećenika, jer su joj otac i majka također svećenici. Jana, slobodoumnog i duhovitog svjetonazora, krši crkvene norme i s vremenom u svojoj crkvi postaje sve veća autsajderica. Njezine davno zakopane rane iz djetinjstva također se otvaraju, a pukotine u obiteljskim odnosima stoga postaju još vidljivije. Svećenica je intimna i okrutno iskrena priča o duhovitoj i odvažnoj ženi koja mora presjeći pupčanu vrpcu kako bi sebe oslobodila. Ujedno otkriva i skrivenu prljavštinu i bolnu istinu o naizgled nedodirljivom društvenom sloju.
