A story of the friendship between Ania and her mother-in-law Lidka. Ania is strong-minded and determined. Lidka is her opposite, shy and reserved. She has just left her abusive husband as they meet inside a newsstand kiosk which Ania runs. The two women work on a divorce petition that would enable Lidka to begin a new life, free of fear and violence. Despite many harsh words and continuing challenges, they slowly develop a bond that gives them courage and strength. 
The Kiosk is a highly emotional film about female solidarity in the face of abuse. 
As we enter their limited space, we get to know two characters who are within our reach. Each gesture, look and tear become incredibly powerful when seen up close.
