A funny story of a six year old Kazakh boy who really wants to start going to school in order to join his seven year old friend.

Two elderly women from a remote mountain village must climb the stairs of a tall apartment building to visit a relative. As they make their way up, pausing to rest and talking about life, memories, and moments from the past, the stairwell becomes a space where stories, encounters, and quiet reflections unfold.
