Introverted high school student Masha sees herself as an outsider when she's not hanging out with Yana and Senia, who share her status as a non-conformist. As she navigates an intense time before graduation, Masha falls in love and is forced to leave her comfort zone. A look into the hearts and lives of a group of young people in Ukraine. The film was awarded the Crystal Bear in the "Generation 14plus" section of the Berlinale. The film title refers to a game in which someone is blindfolded and looks for the others, and means something like "Stop the world".
