Tanya leaves Moscow with her street-wise 10-year-old son Artiom to meet her English fiancée in London.

A quiet, often bleak, but ultimately resilient look at displacement and the search for belonging. It captures the melancholic beauty of a fading seaside town and the quiet strength of those seeking a new life against the odds.
