One person, broken and crushed, leaving behind the fragments of his arranged life, returns to his parents' house. But he finds there only walls, a ceiling and a dull melancholy. Another person, building a foundation for himself brick by brick, buys the cheapest housing in the city at auction - a share in an apartment on the outskirts that has been empty for many years. And, perhaps, they will build a house here.

Warning: depressive states, difficult life situation, Russian winter.
