Synopsis
It‘s Masha, Yana and Senia‘s last but one year of high school. While they wait for their lives to truly begin, they are stressed about school, but also personal wants, hopes, and everyday issues. Masha is shy and sensitive, trying to give meaning to the world around her, and is in love with the reserved, passive Sasha, who has a complicated relationship with his alcoholic mother, which is another burden for her.
