The film tells about the first steps of Evgenia Medvedeva on the ice, about working with Eteri Tutberidze, about everything that the world champion had to give up for the sake of sports, and what to gain. And also - about overcoming, about sincere and complex emotions and real partings. And also - about plans, prospects and about who to be after the sport.

The blockade of Leningrad is one of the symbols of human resilience, but at the same time it is the clearest example of inhuman cruelty. The author of the documentary "Blockade" chose the chronicle of the war years from the Russian and German archives as a tool for narration, adding to it only the music that sounded in those years, archival recordings of Leningrad radio reports, and the sounds that accompanied the residents of the city throughout the days of the blockade. Is it possible to heal the pain caused? How not to repeat the tragedy again?
