Philip loves to break the rules. Because of this, he sometimes gets into trouble. Mom is not always able to contain his ebullient energy. He loves his mother very much, loves to have breakfast with her, do exercises, walks and go on rides in the park... But when she is at work, Philip often runs away from home to the nearest coffee shop and watches how coffee is made. Here he has his own life, his own rules and his own dream - Philip wants to become a barista, because coffee makes people happier! But fulfilling this dream is not so easy: Philip is 25 years old and has Down syndrome.

Mitrofan is an adult with Down syndrome, who lives alone in the parents’ apartment. Everybody in the house likes him, from the old men playing chess to the children. For them, he is a superhero, managing the light of the entire city. Mitrofan works in a dispatch office, where every day he switches on and off the street lights. His daily schedule is extraordinarily exact: he goes to the bus stop, the tram approaches, he returns and is met by the mongrel Pepsi. But one day the usual routine is disrupted. Can Mitrofan find the meaning of life again?
