The two meet, fall in love, and become engaged, however, the society around them is not overly favorable towards their relationship, as they live in post-war Bosnia.
Sabina goes to Saša's mother for answers, but the deeply embittered woman treats her harshly and calls the police.
As her pregnancy advances and winter approaches, Sabina loses her job and when her ex-husband tries to shake her down for money by threatening to take the children away permanently, she comes to a breaking point.
While there, she is visited by her landlady, who informs her that since her lease will end in another week, she has decided to rent out Sabina's apartment to another family.
Feeling abandoned by family and friends, and without help from social services, Sabina wanders the streets of Sarajevo in the cold of winter.
She sells the last of her jewelry and surreptitiously buys three times the amount of sleeping pills used in her previous suicide attempt.
The Australian Christian Channel wrote a favorable review for the movie, stating that "Sabina K is an impacting, must-see film which journeys through a road of emptiness to reveal the treasures of what matters most.
