Description

Bella is a single, 48-year-old unemployed woman, who lives with her bedridden mother, caring for her for years and striving to survive, having only her poor pension and social allowance. One day at the entrance of their building she suddenly meets Masha (Mariam), a 14-15-year-old girl with her own problems, who had arrived from Russia to visit her grandmother and spend her summer holidays in Armenia. Her father was Armenian and mother was Tatar. And despite of age difference, the two singles become close friends. They involuntarily help each other by helping others who are held in the prison of life like themselves, the captives of conventions, where everybody decides everything for them. This mission starts with the release of the chained and abandoned dogs, since only death can provide the release of the suffering prisoners of life. And Bella with Masha changing each other’s lives, also change things, going through ambiguous adventures and becoming decision-makers, responsible individuals who are ready to challenge the stereotypes and taboos of destiny, rejecting slavery and believing in freedom as an inviolable condition which of course is not easy for them.
