As a child, Nika Turbina, together with her mother, toured the Soviet Union, whose life turned out to be short, but full of dramatic events. Having become famous throughout the USSR for the poems that came to her in a dream and were recorded by her mother, the girl spent her entire childhood on tour around the country, bohemian parties and meetings with celebrities. Readers were struck by her childish sadness and poignant lines.
But the end of the 1990s are dawning, and 27-year-old Nika has not been writing for a long time, inspiration has left her. It's place has been taken over by alcohol and attempts to understand herself. Where did her “voice” and motherly love disappear to? Can she be happy? A meeting with a cheerful and independent Ivan, who abandoned the career of a diplomat, gives hope to the girl.[6]
Principal photography took place in Moscow and on the Russian Black Sea Coast.
