A documentary observation of the life of the Moscow passenger metro throughout the year. Salavecis, who judges Dostoevsky, the paratroopers in the same carriage as the American Marines and the tragedies and joys of occasional travellers merge into a poetic essay about modern Russia. The well-known metro lobbies with marble walls and gilded lamps create the ideal theatrical backdrop for an absurd tragedy without a protagonist. The Moscow metro corridors are a miniature model of society in a twilight, a neutral zone, in which characters and relationships are clearly drawn.

This is a story about grown children. Adults in their 10 years. Cigarettes and alcohol, rudeness and childish immediacy, these few words can describe the world in which Nikita lives. He has 4 grades of elementary school behind him, but now it’s not up to school anymore, he has to earn money and take care of his alcoholic mother. Nikitin's comrades are also "children of the streets." What we called "happy childhood" seems to be losing relevance. And does Nikita need it?
