Plot synopsis
A film about an amazing mother Margo and her son Umed. Umed has Down's syndrome, but watching his life, hardly anyone can call him disabled. He is a participant and winner of Russian and international swimming competitions, a soloist of the inclusive musical orchestra ‘Solnechnye Notki’, a faithful assistant to his mother in all household matters and, most importantly, a young active guy with serious, real dreams and plans for life. Umed's small and big daily victories would be impossible without his mum. She has set a goal - her son should be a strong, happy man. And step by step she goes to this goal, overcoming distrust of doctors, indifference of teachers, finding help where there are responsive people. And they, as it turned out, are everywhere, you just have to look hard to find them.
