Olga leads a strictly regulated life without friendships and relationships. She lives in a huge apartment block. When she has to sublet a room in a financial emergency, a man moves in who smuggles his nine-year-old son into the apartment. Olga creates a connection to the child completely unexpectedly for her herself. Her carefully controlled world transforms and against Olga's will the three lives begin to intertwine.
