The focus of the film is on undoubted values, and the criterion is that which has stood the test of time. It is Time that becomes the main "censor" of 10 plots, it is it that determines what to keep for eternity and what to consign to oblivion forever. Each plot of the program strives to become a kind of mini-film with a dramatic basis, conflict and a super-task. The task is to tell simply about the “complex”, to reveal the depth and versatility of the “simple”.

The series is based on the memories of children, participants and witnesses of various events in Russia in the 20th century. How children who grew up in Russia in different years of the 20th century perceived the world around them, and with it the everyday life of Russian history. Life, the behavior of parents, the behavior of friends and enemies of the family, the external environment, social upheavals, political events, all this is noticed by children, all this adds up to that picture of history that we will not find either in official reports or in historical research.
