Galya es una mujer de mediana edad que había sido separada de sus dos hijas gemelas y quiere recuperarlas. Dos jóvenes post-punk, Grishka y Anton, deciden casarse. Inmediatamente después de la boda se pone a prueba su amor. Artyom ansía volver a ver a su padre separado de su madre y desaparecido, a pesar de las violentas protestas de ella. Cada uno de estos personajes intenta sobrevivir a su propio calvario.
There are two of them: a mother and a girl. They have no names. And they are in a constant run. The mother runs away from the daughter in an attempt to start new life, and the girl runs after her mother as she has no idea how to live without her. This endless run is full with repeated mistakes and resembles a barrel-organ sorrowful song or a spinning-top rotation. This small ridiculous toy "volchok" was the first toy in the girl's life, the only thing that tied her with the mother.
