Но детство заканчивается сначала со смертью Сталина, а потом и самой бабушки. Оказавшись в детском доме, сестры создают свой собственный мир, закрытый для других. Спустя какое-то время мать возвращается с новым мужчиной — циркачом, отбирающим юные таланты для цирка. «Бывают два типа людей: те, у кого есть талант, — и те, кто им служит», — эту фразу-лейтмотив фильма произносит мать девочек.

Близость между сёстрами постепенно исчезает, вплоть до полного разрыва, когда оказывается, что Ирена «похитила» единственный талант Хелены…
