This film is about three modern Russian singers (Irina Bogushevskaya, Svetlana Surganova, Anna Gerasimova), whose life and creative path can serve as a model of fortitude.

At five in the morning, Katya was woken up by a phone call: "Come. There was a fire. Nadia and Denis died." So casually, suddenly, terribly, irrevocably, her habitual life was crossed out, burned. Katya's husband Denis, a bright scientist, urbanist, together with his 11-year-old daughter Nadia were at the dacha in Beloretsk, Denis's birthplace. At his mom's. It seemed so quiet, beautiful... the happiest and safest place in the world. Pogrebizhskaya's film is based on the home "chronicle of a happy family", on the monologues of Katya, who would not have survived without her inner guardian - the "blue seagull".
