Plot synopsis
Tanya is 12 years old. She learned to draw, but decided to quit - it seemed to her that she couldn’t do it. In the summer, during the holidays, Tanya lived in a dacha in a large village. There she met 35-year-old Eva and, under her leadership, made a doll - the Baba Girl. The motanka doll, knitted according to ancient Russian custom from scraps and scraps, turned out to be wonderful. She began to help her mistress, first in small ways, and then more seriously. Having learned about this, the adults got involved. Tanya had to try hard to return the doll and understand that only those who really need it need help.
