Durante el día, Lera estudia al ser humano y sus necesidades a través de encuestas de opinión, que son una práctica educativa en el instituto; por la noche, baila bajo el seudónimo de Gerda en un club para mantenerse a sí misma ya su madre. Las personas que conoce son tan desafortunadas como su familia. Su padre se ha ido recientemente por otra mujer, pero él regresa constantemente a casa, incapaz de hacer su elección y, por lo tanto, hace intolerable la vida de las personas cercanas. La madre soporta dolorosamente la ruptura y duerme constantemente, ignorando la realidad. Lera no sabe cómo continuar, a dónde ir y para qué vivir y, lo más importante, cómo mejorar la vida. El mundo adulto, invariablemente desafortunado, que Lera observa día y noche, parece desesperanzado.

Una misteriosa “conferencia” se prepara en un teatro. Natasha, superviviente del sonado sitio de rehenes del teatro Dubrovka de Moscú en 2002 (primera crisis del gobierno de Putin, solucionada de polémica manera) organiza un acto conmemorativo para las víctimas. Una tensa y fantasmal ceremonia catártica con la que Tverdovskiy ("Jumpman") confecciona desconcertantes estampas y levanta escamas en la historia reciente de Europa. ¿Hasta qué punto la memoria histórica es un acto de justicia, una acción terapéutica o una traba para labrarnos un futuro? Tanto olvidar como recrearse en el trauma son dos filos de una misma navaja. (SEFF)

The main characters of the film are residents of different places of this country, most common people, with whom most uncommon things, pure wonders, happen. Semyon and Lyuba, a family of fireguards, have a chance to fulfill a dream – to go to Moscow to take part in their favorite TV show “Field of Miracles” (“Pole Chudes”), where they should make a life choice “trophy or money?” An inexperienced officer of Patrol-Guard Service and at the same time an experienced loser Sanya will have to not only survive his first day of service but also to accept his wife’s labors and to reanimate his partner. Four newly acquainted fellows must by any means fly to Moscow in non-flying weather, and a couple of young lovers must reconcile their irreconcilable parents by some mysterious way. Valera has to decide on a dilemma: to save mankind from the Deluge or just to fly with his karaoke-alien-friends in their old UFO? All these things can happen only once a year – on December, 31!

Four novels: "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn", "Winter" - four very different love stories...
