Sergei Kabanovsky

A la mort de sa fille, une grand-mère, Baboussia, se retrouve à la rue et entame un long périple à travers la Russie en quête d'asile. Ballottée entre un veuf joyeux, une soeur hospitalisée, une nièce carriériste, un neveu alcoolique, des petits-enfants nouveaux russes ou rescapés de la guerre de Tchétchénie, chacun trouvera une bonne raison de lui fermer sa porte. Mais Baboussia n'a pas dit son dernier mot...

The picture of youth, love and betrayal, the eternal problem of fathers and children. The main actors are teenagers living in a small provincial town. Their parents — decent people who are used to making money in an honest way - do not have the opportunity to help their children. The difficulties that teenagers face at home, once pushing them to steal. What is the moral law in our lives, what is today the place of eternal values — such as love, family, loyalty? What does money mean in the modern world? Where and when does a person cross the line beyond which there is no way back?..
