A young woman recounts her love story against the backdrop of Russia’s troubled first decade of the 21st century. A heartfelt chronicle of Marusya and Kimi’s 12-year-long relationship, wrought with addiction and mental health issues, paints a portrait of an entire generation struggling to find themselves and feeling extremely vulnerable.
