She won't let life roll over her — but can she roll with love?
Anna is independent and principled, she uses a wheelchair, but does not stop in the face of difficulties, inspires others and always relies only on herself. While working as a psychologist in a rehabilitation center, she meets young Maksim, who has just gotten a job at a social center. Maksim was raised by his grandmother. Young, frivolous and irresponsible. This acquaintance will forever change both the fate of the heroes and their worldview.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Russian disability representation remains rare; this film emerged from activist conversations about authentic casting versus Hollywood's typical erasure.
Director Rudak cast Dulova after community outreach — she's not acting lived experience, she *has* it, which changes every frame's power dynamic.
