After the death of her mother, little Olya lives alone with her father. One evening, a girl hears her father inviting his beloved girl Sveta to stay with them forever.

Olya is very attached to her teacher and she would like to see her as a new mother.
Directed by Efim Gribov, Burden leans on a strong ensemble — Yulia Kosmachyova, Evgeniy Nikitin, Olga Vedernikova — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
