Seven year old Sasha practices violin every day to satisfy the ambition of his parents. Already withdrawn as a result of his routines, Sasha quickly regains confidence when he accidentally meets and befriends worker Sergei, who works on a steamroller in their upscale Moscow neighborhood.
The rigid, high-pressure social circles of Moscow provide a suffocating backdrop for a child forced into musical perfection. An unexpected friendship with a blue-collar laborer offers a much-needed breath of fresh air amidst the strict demands of parental ambition.
