Aleksandra Nikolaevna is invited by her grandson, Denis, a senior lieutenant (Stárshiy Leytenánt) in the Russian Army, to visit his military base in Chechnya. A small circle of soldiers is assigned to escort her, turning a family visit into a delicate point of contact in a land that feels almost lawless.
