In the Siberian countryside, marriage is traditionally seen as the greatest achievable happiness for a woman. But the 90-year-old Dorotchka, an archetypal babushka, has always remained alone. At the kitchen table, she contemplates life, love, regret and loneliness—has she maybe brought this fate upon herself? The film is a spinoff of a film that screened at IDFA 2016 any many other international film festivals, Siberian Love, in which filmmaker Olga Delane explored the same views on love and marriage.

What does a woman need to be happy and fulfilled?After 20 years of living in Berlin, the film director Olga goes back to her roots in a small Siberian village, where she is confronted with traditional views of relationships, life and love.
