Meredith and Nina Whitson are sisters, but it's hard to find women more dissimilar. One is a homebody who has always believed that there is no better fate than to get married, raise children and run a family apple nursery. Another dreamed of wandering, became a photojournalist covering humanitarian disasters, and wanders around the world, avoiding talk of the future and family. The illness of the father brings the sisters together in the parental home. From a mother with Russian roots, they have never seen anything but icy disapproval, and even now Anya does not try to get closer to her daughters, showing the detachment they know well. In childhood, only one thing united them with their mother: a fairy tale about a poor girl and a prince, which she told the girls at night. Realizing that he is dying, the father asks his daughters to listen to the tale until the very end. Thus begins the journey of two women into the mother's past, into her life in besieged Leningrad, into a terrible and beautiful icy world.
