Gabby, a novice documentarian, has come from New York to visit her father, Alexander; a man who left his family to become a very important figure in a very important Russian Oil Company. Acting on his promise to return, Gabby decides to document her father in Moscow during his final months of stay. However, once she realizes that Alexander's temporary position in Russia may have become a permanent decision, Gabby's rosy documentary is forced into a dramatically comical Moscow detour.
