The film for urban residents who are exhausted by endless strive for results and personal changes for the better.
The main character, a charming resident of the Suzdal village, has the most luxurious opportunity unimaginable for metropolitan life: to live the most ordinary life. Crying, rejoicing, loving, praying, feeding cats, watering flowers and... staying the same instead of trying to fit to circumstances.
Valya teaches this simple worldly wisdom to Nastya, the film's director, a city girl who got lost in the wilds of endless reflection.
