Galya Kopeikina is a lonely old woman who lives in tropical Sochi. However, on the screen we don’t see the sea or palm trees, but only the cramped space of a Soviet two-room apartment. The director of the film is the great-granddaughter of Galya Kopeikina, who was sent by relatives to negotiate with her great-grandmother. The aim is to convince her to move with one of the relatives in another city. Sounds simple, but it's actually a mission impossible. However, the camera is an outside observer that allows you to look at the situation from a different angle. To see a helpless lonely person instead of an eternally dissatisfied and absurd pensioner. To understand and to love her again.
