Raushaniya Badretdinova grew up in the village. After milking, the cow loved to lie on the hayloft and draw.

Raushaniya was married twice, suffered cancer, she was diagnosed with "infertility". The girl had to endlessly change rented apartments, work day and night. Will Raushania be able to break out of the vicious circle of diseases, lack of money and become a recognized artist?
