'What if we're just three miserable people
who would be miserable anywhere...?'
Irina, Masha, and Olya were born in Russia's vibrant capital city.
Now they live here.
In this remote, military town.
Mom and dad are dead.
The future does not look bright for this family.
But one thought keeps them going...
"GET THE F*@K OUT OF HERE AND BACK TO MOSCOW!"
