USSR, Baku, end of the 80s. A group of young boys works at the Seaside Park as costumed dolls for photographing. Dolls at home, in society and at work also dolls … they try to break free. Everything in their life is for the first time – love, friendship, betrayal. They invent life from scratch, even their freedom is of their own kind, a doll-like freedom. Their childhood ends with the collapse of the empire. Having gained the freedom, they turn into dolls to be played with on a larger scale. 　　Chingiz F.
