A documentary series about three boys from Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan who live in the same entrance of an ordinary St. Petersburg house. Their families came to Russia for typical migrant reasons — no money, no job, no future at home. But the boys don't care about that yet: they go to school, fall in love, play and grow up — in short, they have a lot of adventures and fun while they are warmed by friendship and youth.
