What is the first day of freedom like for someone who spent seven years in prison for a serious crime? The film was shot in a single day, the exact amount of time it took to meet the protagonist at the gates of the prison and accompany him to his front door."

The film is composed of short story-monologues from three women, each reflecting on the twists and turns of their lives. The first, raised in an intellectual yet tyrannical family, discovers true self-realization only after the birth of her son, who has developmental challenges. The second leaves behind a successful career as a civil servant in a ministry to become an erotic dancer. The third shares the difficult journey of coming to terms with her child's life choices, which never fit into traditional norms from an early age. These unconventional real-life stories challenge the viewer to question: what is "normal," and should it dictate a person's fate?

What is the woman thinking? What does he discuss with his girlfriends? What worries her? How to meet true love? How to deal with the onset of old age? How to find the man of your dreams? Voice messages on these topics from different, unfamiliar women are collected in one monologue and superimposed on lyrical, eccentric, unexpected urban scenes.

The film tells about the folk theater in Moscow, which has existed for 65 years. What makes people engage in amateur performances, what difficulties do they have to face, and what do the Moscow authorities think of folk art?

There are three protagonists in this story, three dramatic artists who are forced to work outside their specialty. One is engaged in pedagogy, the second became a massage therapist, the third became a make-up artist. The authors of the film, together with the characters, are trying to answer the main question, how can an artist live without a stage?
