Anka's once-large family is falling apart: her younger brother was killed at school, and her own mother pretends that this did not happen, diligently trying to convince everyone around her of this. Anka's grandfather unsuccessfully struggles with progressive Alzheimer's, talking to his deceased grandson in between searching for a wiretap hidden, as it seems to him, in the house. The father, who, according to his mother's stories, is a diplomat traveling around the world, actually turns out to be an alcoholic who drank the last thing they had: an apartment. In an attempt to get justice and help her family, Anka, unbeknownst to herself, slides into the abyss of insanity so deeply that it seems there will never be a way back.

Ivan is a former Russian football star, now a downed pilot and the host of a boring football show. Everything changes when he gets into a live argument with his former teammate and the country's most successful lapta coach, Maks. After the public conflict, Ivan loses not only his job but also the last of his public recognition. To regain his honor, he makes a bet with Maks to become the best lapta coach. Better than Maks. However, the team Ivan assembles turns out to be, to put it mildly, less than professional: a neurotic, a boring pensioner, a gamer, a weightlifter, and a notorious hooligan. Ivan must rehabilitate this motley "dream gang" and lead it to victory.

Best friends: A seven-year-old girl and her elderly grandfather escape from their parents' dacha to rescue their grandfather's dog, who is locked alone in the apartment. The trip stops being fun when it becomes clear that the grandfather is mentally ill.

A gifted 12-year-old pianist from a backwater village gets a chance to audition for a talent show and go to Moscow, but the prospect brings nothing but pain to his father, the boy's only relative.

An unlucky father is trying to restore his relationship with his seven-year-old son after a divorce. He takes his son to the final match of his favorite hockey team, but it suddenly turns out that the tickets are fake. Hoping to rectify the situation and introduce the boy to his idol, the father hijacks a bus with hockey players and takes them to his son.
