Olga lives a strictly regulated life without any friends or relationships in a vast block of flats. When, out of financial necessity, she is forced to rent out a room, a man moves in who also sneaks his nine-year-old son into the flat. To her own surprise, Olga begins to form an unlikely bond with the child. Her carefully controlled world begins to shift and, entirely against Olga’s will, these three lives start to become intertwined.
