Synopsis

Pleasant Days is a grim slife-of-life piece that follows the lives of siblings Peter, who is recently out of prison, and Maria, a beautiful young woman whose lover neglects her. Maria works in a laundromat, often finding herself preoccupied with the problems of Maja, her pregnant best friend who eventually gives birth on the laundromat's floor. In hopes of blackmailing her lover into commitment, Maria agrees to take the baby and pretend that she is the mother. Peter is the only person outside of Maria and Maja who knows the truth, and becomes attracted to Maja, who is busy avoiding her fiercely possessive ex-boyfriend. Eventually, Maja wants to take the child back, but Maria refuses to comply. Forced to choose between his sister and Maja, Peter makes a decision with tragic consequences. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
