Because of her age and fragile health, an old Russian lady has to share her apartment with her niece and four children. At every moment, the calm she enjoyed, her fine family keepsakes, and also her beloved piano, are in danger, under the impetus of the wild energy of the little ones. The two worlds, forced into cohabitation, could not be more distant from each other. A question hangs in the air: will the members of this family manage to find a place for each other in their hearts?
