The author of the film is a young woman, who came from Russia to start her PhD at UC Berkeley. She films her life after her son Lev is born in the US. Her American husband takes her to his family in Cambridge (MA). The film tells the story of the adaptation of a Russian woman living in the US in the moment of a dramatic global crisis brought up by the Russian invasion to Ukraine. Her American family embraces her as a new member. However, her appearance with a newborn in the house of a couple of elderly parents shakes their everyday life. Two-months old Lev brings old memories and unresolved conflicts from the past, which the family has to face now.
