In 2008, Natasha Sindeeva (35) is the new wife of a successful banker. A former music radio producer, she is in search of fame and success in the television business. Natasha decides to spend some of her partner’s fortune on her dream — building an independent TV station, Dozhd, “for normal people.” 12 years later, that dream and the Putin regime’s crushing political repressions hold Natasha and her family hostage.
