As he navigates the complexities of a city transformed by capitalism and political unrest, Andrei grapples with his own identity and the stark contrast between his memories of the Soviet era and the present reality. Through his interactions with his grandmother, old friends, and new acquaintances, he confronts the challenges of familial duty, cultural dislocation, and the search for belonging in a rapidly changing world.
