Based on the young people's own universes of music, lyrics and stories, Lotte Leth Nielsen shows, among others, what it means to stand out from the norm in a society that by force tries to suppress all life forms that do not live up to the conservative, patriarchal values that the government alone wants to promote. The film takes place over a couple of days where the young people are gathered in the collective Triglinki in the central Saint Petersburg.
