»Although Lucia and Marussia change shelter every night, the film is not against the system as such. Nor is it about the familiar problem of immigration. Rather it’s about the dynamics of their relationship – these dreamy characters that escape the social system and defy people’s expectations in order to maintain their freedom, to live in the moment, to enjoy themselves.«
– Eva Pervolovici

Lucia, a Russian mother, and her six-year-old daughter, Marussia, find themselves living on the streets of Paris. Not having a stable roof over their heads, they sleep wherever they can – a night at a Russian priest’s, another in a welfare facility, and even in a four-star hotel. They live each day as if it were the day that could change their life, meeting different kinds of people, wandering aimlessly and waiting for something wonderful to happen to them. As their situation is not getting any better and they end up sleeping under a bridge, the Russian community decides to buy them a ticket back to Russia. Marussia revolts against her mother and runs away. She doesn’t want to go back. And, at the same time, she wants to have a real childhood. What kind of decision is her mother ready to make?
