The artist and singer Tolik is alone taking care of his niece Katya. Katya is 5 years old. Her mother Anya suffers from psychological problems, she is unemployed and lives on welfare. Katya’s biological father disappeared. Tolik became a real father for the little girl. And so Katya says, “My mother is my father’s sister”.

Tolik’s art is about personal freedom and sexual openness. He lives on occasional fees, spends his time at parties, in galleries and nightclubs. With Katya his world gets filled with day-to-day responsibilities of a single parent: to feed, to read a bedtime fairy tale, to play together...

Sometime Tolik and Katya visit Anya, they bring money and food. Katya asks Tolik, “Dad, don’t you want to live with Mom at all?” Meanwhile, Anya continues to lose her connection with reality by spending days alone in front of TV in her apartment. Anya’s disease is progressing irreversibly. Tolik records his first music album. And Katya celebrates her seventh birthday.
