Synopsis:
The ways of two humans - a 14-year old orphan-boy and a grown up man with a questionable past - are crossing at a, for both sides, dramatic moment. Both don?t have a real name and both decided to start a new life. The homeless boy saves the man?s life who is captivated on tracks. The boy just escaped from his foster parents and actually wants to go to Germany. The not always conflict-free but still respectful acquaintance turns out to be a comeback for both of them but they always get caught up by their past. While the boy thinks to see his mother in a, in Moscow guesting German actress, the old man has to accept the appearance of his ex-wife and his old cronies. For both these encounters entailed incalculable outcomes.
