At 30, Oleg and Seryoga are still dreaming of becoming rock stars. They play in a little-known band, share a cramped flat, and are getting ready for an important gig at a local festival. But just before the show, they suddenly find themselves having to look after Oleg’s uncle - a 50-year-old man with mental disabilities whom they can’t leave on his own for even a minute.
