She was a beggar, lived with ten dogs and crazy Mum in a small room in slums of Moscow.
One day she run away. Her mother died alone… Then were drugs, prostitution and rock-and-roll.
Her first husband was a drug dialer and was put into a jail, and she run away again.
Then she fell in love and become pregnant but her new boyfriend didn't want to have a family and she run away once more... now to India.
She becomes a buddhist, helps homeless dogs and people. But she still doesn't know where to go and how to live, and the main question for what reason?
She travels alone around India in searching for the purpose of leaving. But her past always follows her. Who knows weather she will be able to become free of it?
There is no stillness in her world. Everуthing is moving. But where and why we don't know.
This is a road movie about one Russian girl, but in general the idea can be defined in such words as eternal flow of life, where Kate's life is just a blink, but in this blink the whole eternity is reflected.
