Olga Averkieva

Irina is director of the local-history museum in Cherdyn, in the north of the Perm Region. She came for the job a few years ago and grew attached to the place. She loves devising exhibitions, finding a contemporary language in which to speak about history, and turning the museum into a place that feels alive. But the old troubles of the institution haunt her as well: court cases, unease in the staff, a constant strain. The need to take hard decisions begins to wear her down.

In their childhood, our heroes became orphans, and it resulted in their mental and social deficiency. For years, they stay inmates of closed psychoneurologic nursing homes: Natasha – for women, Guera and Kolya – for men. Now they’ve got a chance to become self-dependent. On this path they’ve met together and even felt love in their life.
