Plot synopsis

This is the story of three teenagers: Marcel, 13 years old, born in Kyrgyzstan, Mouhamad, 12 years old, born in Tajikistan, Roustam, 11 years old, born in Uzbekistan. Their parents are immigrant workers who came to Saint Petersburg to support their family. It was here that the boys met: they lived in the same building on the same floor and became friends. The film tells of life in a foreign country which is still not the country of the boys' parents and which we do not know if it will become the country of these when they grow up. This is the story of youth, of its freedom, of its courage, of its naivety, of its stupidity, when you are still too small to deal with serious problems but already big enough to enjoy a certain freedom. and explore it with avidity and interest.
