Jelena and her mother Vera left Russia 20 years ago to come to Germany. Since then they've been living together in a tiny two-bedroom apartment. Now Vera is almost 70 and unable to accept reality in Germany. In her mind she still lives in Russia, where she was a famous dancer. She gave up everything to allow her daughter to make her career in the West, but Jelena only managed to get a job as a dance teacher for chubby little girls.
