[4] The film centers around a curious five-year-old girl who embarks on a series of misadventures across Moscow after wandering away from home, leading a diverse group of people to search for her.

The film centers on a five-year-old girl, Natasha (Veronika Lebedeva), who is left in the care of her older brother, Yura, while their mother (Olga Zhizneva) goes to the countryside to rent a summer house for the family.

Yura, expecting friends over, half-jokingly promises Natasha that he will "tear her head off" if she doesn't sleep until the housemaid, Arisha (Rina Zelyonaya), arrives.

Next, Natasha finds herself at the apartment of a childless geologist, Yevgeny Semyonovich (Rostislav Plyatt), who, believing she was abandoned, gets into a dispute with his neighbor (Tatyana Barysheva), who claims the girl as her own.

Her journey continues, and soon the childless couple Lya (Faina Ranevskaya) and Muli (Pyotr Repnin) decide they want to adopt Natasha after she narrowly escapes being run over by a car.
