A unique experiment is at the heart of this film.
It more seems to be a plot from Edgar Poe’s novels,
rather than modern reality. An experiment on the
«uprise of maternal love» is being conducted in two
Russian colonies. Not only convicted persons live in
Russian colonies, but also… children. Children
born behind the bars. They see their mothers only
two hours per day. When turning three, children
have to leave the zone. Most often they have to
depart to the children’s home. It is expected that
once the mother is free, she will take the child
home. However, this is usually not the case. Maybe
during the short dates, a mother simply does not
have time to come to love her child? What if the kid
spent the whole day with mother? Whom she/he be
able to evoke love in mother?
