A giant girl lives in a wild rural environment. When the modern world enters this isolated Russian Old Believer milieu, the girl is taken away and dragged into the world of professional sports. The aim does not differ much from that of a circus in the Middle Ages – to entertain audiences and exploit the limits of people’s mental and physical abilities. But the girl proves to have unbelievable willpower and athletic talent. She is able to adapt and triumph in this new world. This is the story of the famous basketball player Ulyana Semyonova.
Marta (8 years) and little Linda (4 years) need a nanny for a short period of time. Girls' parents have gone elsewhere to earn living for the family. Mother's sister Una is asked to come and take care of the girls. This summer Marta wants to get a puppy of her own. The plans of the mother's sister are even more ambitious. This summer she hopes to get finally wed. Both of them have found the candidates. Marta - the neighbours' puppy, but the aunt - jeweller Ivo. However, Una forbids Marta to even dream about the puppy… because she dislikes dogs. This is the begging of Marta's and Una's fight to see their dreams come true.
