About
Blizhnegorsk is a city in central Russia, with a population of about 600 thousand. A gray city with industrial production, average and therefore even more depressing. For the most part, the older generation, like everywhere else in Russia, leads a hard, hopeless life. Few people want to repeat the fate of their parents, and therefore every young resident of the city dreams most of all that life will give him a chance. A chance to get out of the swamp and become happy. But few people manage to win right away without making mistakes, those who stumble, life gives a second chance. And the last one. All our heroes receive it - six young men and girls living in the same yard.
