A chance is a bird no bigger than a sparrow
The end of the eighties, that’s the last millennium.
The end of the eighties, that’s right now.
Marina dreams of turning her back on the Soviet Union and seizing the chance of a different life, however small it may be. Years later and countless kilometers away
, Marina’s daughters try to imagine their mother as a young woman. What was her life like before she became a mother? What was her relationship like with her grandmother, whom they never met: an engineer with a talent not only for numbers, but also for predicting the future? Little by little, Marina’s daughters rhyme
the story of her family. A story populated by ghosts, a story that shows how times pass: without ever being completely gone.
