Based on the true story of Nika Turbina, a former Soviet child poetess lost to obscurity in the 1990s, the film follows her at age 27 as she grapples with her talent and uncertain future. Facing age restrictions, she has one opportunity to enter the Drama School, a chance to break free from her overprotective mother. A budding friendship with Ivan offers hope, but unresolved memories continue to haunt her. Struggling with a mix of hope and confusion, Nika confronts her past and risks everything for a chance at love and a new beginning.
