Mariya Pomerantseva

Mukhabbat, an Uzbek immigrant, works at a convenience store on the outskirts of Moscow. Just like the rest of the immigrants at the store, she is forced to work without getting paid and endure mental and physical abuse, until she overcomes her fear one day and takes her fate into her own hands.

Three short stories – "Irina", "Mitya", "Seryozha" – are three days from the life of a modern business woman, her adult son and her grandson, whose existence the father and grandmother find out only five years after his birth.
