Marlene is an erratic young mother from a working-class background who was left by her husband when she cheated on him during their wedding ceremony. Unemployed, she spends her days watching reality TV shows and getting drunk. Her only source of happiness and pride is Elli, her 8-year-old daughter, whom Marlene affectionately calls "Angel Face". But for the young girl, coping with her mother and her alcoholism is a daily struggle, which makes her mature early.
