During the day, Lera studies humankind and its needs through opinion polls, which are an educational practice at the institute; at night, she dances under the pseudonym Gerda in a club to support herself and her mother.

The mother painfully endures the breakup and constantly sleeps, ignoring reality. Lera doesn’t know how to carry on, where to go and what to live for, and — most importantly — how to improve life. The adult world, invariable unfortunate, which Lera observes day and night, seems hopeless.

An ordinary day of an ordinary St. Petersburg guide: a smile on duty, the text bounces off the teeth, the route is scheduled by the minute – the main thing is that the bus with tourists is in time for lunch!

What can you do, St. Petersburg is a city where miracles happen at every step. A guide can become a person, and the spirits of Nevsky Prospekt can breathe life even into an ordinary bus tour.
