The wayward stove—maker Agnia does not spoil life - she lives in the Far North in an emergency poorly heated house, fishes in an ice hole and raises her son alone. Seasonal work makes it impossible to save up for new housing, and the local head of administration, Boris, is in no hurry to resettle people. Agreeing to Boris's proposal to lay out a stove in his hut, Agnia gradually falls in love with him, but eventually uses him to achieve her main goal — to move to a new apartment. And he does it in a very unusual way.

Soviet Georgia, 1983. Preparations for Nika and Ana's wedding are in full swing and it's a big day for both of their elite families. For the newlyweds and their friends, however, the celebrations are in fact part of a cover-up, as they plot an audacious escape from the Soviet Union.


When household tensions and a sense of worthlessness overcome Evan, he finds escape when he clings with the orphans of a throw-away society. The runaways hold on to each other like a family until a tragedy tears them apart.
