Synopsis

Alevtina Romanova is a penal officer in a women’s prison colony. Her image of a stern officer is betrayed only by her voice - a kind of voice to be envied by opera stars. She has been embarrassed of her gift since she was a child and now sings only when she stays alone, to herself. Once, her secret is revealed - an inmate records a video with her cell phone and uploads it in the internet. The video is a hit, and Alevtina is invited to Moscow to the country’s most popular song contest. The woman is eager not to miss her chance, and finally, to change her life.
