Plot synopsis
Thirteen-year-old Ivan is a street kid in the big city. He lives with his mother, who is still traumatized by his birth, and has only cares for her dogs. After Ivan was born, his father moved to the other side of Russia, but Ivan is certain that he will soon come back. Ivan tries to find comfort in the few family friends left from better times, but none are willing to take responsibility. Convinced that the only way he can find solace is by being with his father, he embarks on a journey to reach him.
