In the Siberian village of Ruslanovka, the Smorodnikov family struggles to survive after the death of the mother, leaving five children in the care of their alcoholic father. Over several years, the film follows the transformation of the eldest son, Andrey — from a kind and caring boy into a confused, embittered teenager, detached from his own life and the world around him.
