The end of the 1980s in Tatarstan, Kazan, while all parents struggle for survival, abandoned children flock to the streets and “Fight for the asphalt,” literally fighting to control everything that stands on their land or moves across it. Amidst the general poverty, there are clear rules of life, support, and the word of a boy, which is stronger than an oath.

You're Andrey's sister, who came to the supermarket group, but you didn't even know what a group was, and all the others. You were 5 years old and your name was Yulia. Your mother, as Andrey said, got sick, and he always carried you with him, but when you didn't need to, he left you with Aunt Irina.

And so you wake up and Aunt Irina has already made you breakfast, you brushed your teeth and went to eat. Andrey was gone as always, and you asked Aunt Irina in a childish voice : Aunt Ira, where is my brother? Looking straight at Aunt Ira.
Aunt Ira : Andrey has left now, but he will come soon and pick you up. Come home in the evening and I will bake your favorite cookies.
Aunt Ira looked at you with a warm smile like Mom's
you : yes! cookies!
