Life is not easy in the Soviet Union at mid-20th century,
especially for a factory worker who becomes an unwed mother. But
Antonina is lucky to get a room in a communal apartment that she
and her little girl share with three old women. Glikeria is the
daughter of former serfs. Ariadna comes from a wealthy family and
speaks French. Yevdokia is illiterate and bitter. All have lost
their families, all are deeply traditional, and all become grannies
to little Suzanna. Only they secretly name her Sofia. And just as
secretly they impart to her the history of her country as they
experienced it: the Revolution, the early days of the Soviet Union,
the blockade and starvation of World War II. The little girl
responds by drawing beautiful pictures, but she is mute. If the
authorities find out she will be taken from her home and sent to an
institution. When Antonina falls desperately ill, the grannies are
faced with the reality of losing the little girl they love unless a
stepfather can be found before it is too late. And for that, they
need a miracle.
