The story of the return – from the return of documents to the return to life. Unnecessary, superfluous, idiotic-so unflattering Andrey speaks about himself. However, all 30 years of his life could be the script of a feature film. Having escaped from a mental hospital, in which he was locked up with a lifelong diagnosis of "incapacity", he ended up in a large – scale madhouse-the capital. Without documents and a roof over his head, Andrey is looking for ways to regain his right to a free life. Now his route is official offices and endless psychiatric examinations. The goal is to return the legal capacity.

The film is about the long-term relationship between the director and the character of her first film, the French indie artist, musician and director Siegfried, known as Sig. The story is dedicated to the experience of growing up, emancipation and finding their own identity in life and in art. The film raises questions about the nature of the student-teacher relationship, which inevitably involves submission and conflict, and the nature of the director and hero relationship, which is based on love and a little manipulation.

From early childhood, Julia studied Russian, and in her youth she was fascinated by Russian culture and history. After graduating from university in Paris, she went to Moscow to write a diploma on early Social Democrats. At this stage of life, our paths crossed. Because I was also fascinated by the French language and culture. She arrived from Paris to Moscow by train with a huge, very heavy suitcase. It turns out that there were books in it... Housing in Moscow in the mid-2000s. In felt boots, a Russian shawl and a mini skirt. French rap is in the headphones. Julia said that there is nothing worse than adolescence.
