Five dreams against the walls of a never-sleeping city. The film is a mosaic about the sleepers and the awakened. What kind of Muscovites are they? Thinking, contemplating, doubting, loving and dreaming? What they see when they close their eyes is more important than what they see when they open them.

Tanya is 40 years old, has an adult daughter and a reliable husband, whose birthday it is today. That means, after work the whole family goes to a restaurant. Tanya’s plans are crossed by her first great love, Denis, who has suddenly arrived in Moscow for business. Tanya and Denis spend this day together, and for a while forget that they are no longer 20. This id different from all the other seldom meetings, because Denis puts Tanya before a choice: here is her stable life where there is a husband and a daughter, and there is a ticket to Berlin where they can go together and try to make up all the years they have missed out.

Three guys living in a Moscow apartment are forced to look after the uncle of one of the main characters for ten days. His name is Yura, and he has mental disabilities.
