Young offender Roma has already done time in prison for robbery. In an underground pedestrian crossing he assaults a student and steals his money, soon after which he encounters Olya on a sanatorium beach. His attempts to steal her iPad have an unexpected effect however, as she misinterprets his attentions as an amorous advance.

Managing to engage the by all means good-looking Roma in conversation, Olya inadvertently catches him unaware, leading to both embarrassment and self-doubt on his behalf. When Olya catches glimpse of his tattooed fingers, Roma admits that he is indeed a thief, whereupon she runs away in panic, completely forgetting her iPad.

With psychological empathy and precise dramatic composition the director narrates how the evolution in our perceptions of the unknown can offer solutions to seemingly hopeless situations. MM
