In a humorous tone, "Ment" (Russian criminals called militiamen in Soviet-era slang) tells the story of the daily life of an ordinary police officer.

Elo is visiting her family on a small island. Her complicated relationship with her mother is just about to warm up, when her half-sister’s pet rat Siisik takes its last breath. The family dinner is interrupted by the need to send Siisik on a last farewell. The mother’s apathy towards the death of the pet rat triggers Elo and opens up a gate to the past, when her own grief was left unnoticed.
