Kristina is a 24-year-old trainee in a consulting firm who tries to escape boredom by taking Aikido classes. Her single mother, Marina, whose life is entirely concentrated on her daughter, works as a real estate agent by day and writes erotic novels by night. Their neighbour Pavel, a young scientist who is preparing to leave for the Arctic, spends most of his time at home with a hamster, watching the video blog of 11-year-old Alice, a lonely child who is looking for friends. The lives of the four of them intersect in autumn, when the air is cold and everyone is waiting for the first snow.
