Three Russian women in their 30s who all seek the same: security, a higher social status and eternal happiness. Not an easy wish to fulfill in today's Russia, where the patriarchy dominates. So our heroines take matters into their own hands and join a course in the art of seducing a man - preferably a rich one. Seven years of recordings paint a sometimes tragicomic picture of gender roles and femininity in Putin's Russia.

One of the legends of Soviet television is Valentina Leontieva. One of the first TV presenters. She was called the All-Union "Aunt Valya". The peak of Leontyeva's fame came in the late 1960s - early 1970s, when she hosted the program "From the bottom of my heart" adored by the people. Leontyeva's story about herself in the film is illustrated by film and television footage, photographs of her personal archive. But even the most vivid memories of past glory cannot drown out the pain and longing. Valentina Mikhailovna appears before the audience in a dressing gown and slippers. The poor environment, the simple decoration of her home, and most importantly, the genuine sadness in her eyes and voice suggests that the once beloved and irreplaceable aunt Valya has been undeservedly forgotten.

The mother of nine children tells her story. Together with her children, she runs across a large country from poverty, disorder and her husband. Runs and cannot stop in any way, because it is not so easy to find a place where you can survive. The main character is torn between children and work; the school where the younger ones study, and the wedding of the eldest daughter; understanding that with her children she is not needed by the country and others, and the knowledge that she needs children, and they need her, and only for this you need to survive.
