Father Alexey (a member of the Auctioneer group Oleg Garkusha), an elderly, eccentric and kind priest, spends his days alone, except for visiting his sick brother and his daughter. One day he receives an assignment to visit a deaf girl Violetta (Vasilisa Perelygina) in prison, falsely accused of setting fire to a church. When Father Alexei recognizes her as an orphan, whom he baptized as Barbara in infancy, a new meaning appears in his life.
Masha
Leningrado, 1945. La Segunda Guerra Mundial ha devastado la ciudad y derruido sus edificios, dejando a sus ciudadanos en la miseria tanto a nivel físico como psíquico. El asedio (uno de los peores de la Historia) ha terminado, la vida y la muerte continúan combatiendo en el desastre que la guerra deja tras de sí. Dos mujeres jóvenes, Iya y Masha, tratan de encontrar un sentido a sus vidas para reunir fuerzas de cara a reconstruir la ciudad.
