Magnitogorsk, mid-2000s. Vladimir and Elena experience the tragedy that happened to their son and greatly affected their family in different ways. He is obsessed with revenge, strives to restore justice and is not ready to put up with the deafness of the laws. She is trying to understand the past and her own feelings, to find a way out in humility and mercy. In order to maintain the relationship and find the strength to live on, each will have to go their own special path, rethink the fate of their child and melt the bitter cold that has gripped their hearts.
"I was lucky to shoot a film in the city where I was born, grew up and where no one had ever shot a full-length film before. Cinema is a team effort, and I was incredibly lucky with my team. Everyone gave it their all, whether it was a night shift at minus 20 with a strong wind or filming in a shaking tram noisily rolling through the city at night."
