Raya is one of the last survivors of the siege of Leningrad. We snoop into her life with the camera of Fima, young director, who speaks only a bit and lets Raya shine. From distrust to friendship, honoured by smoking a joint together in the last scene, Fima and Raya show us Raya´s world. We pass through several moments of Raya´s actual life, her memories and dreams. She stands firm in the name of the last war survivors, protect them from disrespect in the hospital, makes them being not forgotten by remembering about the birthdays of the oldest members of the community. Raya has some serious health issues, discussions with her daughter, but she takes everything with dignity and wit. This movie shows us a beauty of living, with all the possible life´s ups and downs.
