When you are eleven years old, it seems that anything can happen to you. Especially when your grandmother comes to visit you, who knows how to do magic. You can even learn magic yourself, and then your life will become like a dream: sometimes scary, sometimes intoxicating, then completely unlike anything else. But in order to find a talent in yourself, or save a friend, or just make sure that at least someone really loves you, then you have to try yourself. And no magic will help here.

Kira is 36. She works at the Pulkovo Airport call centre and lives with her younger sister Vera and her daughters. A couple years ago, their mother kicked the sisters out of the house and later disappeared. It's time for Kira to accept that her mother is dead and move on: get the death certificate, claim her inheritance and start living separately from her sister and nieces. A new life awaits her. But Kira does not want to change anything and dreams only of her mother coming back.
