Plot synopsis
When the father of the film's protagonist, a senator in the upper house of the Russian parliament, signs a document authorizing the deployment of troops into Ukraine, Diana herself pickets against the war and is taken to the police. Upon learning of the picket, Diana's father threatens to kick her out of the house and imprison her if she continues her activist activities. Not waiting for his threats to materialise, Diana leaves her father's house and goes to Moscow, where she meets the director of the film. This is where the film begins. In Frank interviews Diana talks about her complicated relationship with her father and mother and about life's twists and turns. And a video archive, which Diana watches in her grandmother's apartment, supplements her story with shots of her parents, still young and in love.
