Alyona was an unmarried 34-year-old editor for a glossy magazine. She had enough money but felt unfulfilled, so she left St. Petersburg and started working in a village that had been established for children in need of a family. In the village, unmarried women care for children who have had to flee abusive or neglectful parents who were often alcoholics or drug addicts. How is it different from a traditional orphanage? How does the village's director, former naval lieutenant Sergey Yakovenko, run everything and obtain funding? Do they see him as a director, or as a dad? Do they think of Alyona as their mother?
