In a house in southern Russia, two sisters, their mother, and their grandmother gather each summer, creating a vibrant, matriarchal world. The father is there too, but he's barely seen. Men in this women's realm are like passing trains.
Amidst endless baby cries, lullabies, fortune-telling, and sauna rituals, the film flows quietly and imperceptibly — from birth to death, creating a portrait of a family whose connection transcends the visible world. Daughters unknowingly follow the paths of their mothers, repeating the cycles of those who came before them. Breaking these deeply ingrained generational patterns seems almost unimaginable.
