Synopsis

Vasya, a seven-year-old girl, slips away from the countryside house with her grandfather without her parents knowing.

What began as a simple escape turns into a tender journey, as Vasya gradually discovers that her grandfather is mentally ill. Childhood meets the imagination of old age, and a deep bond forms between two generations separated by time.
