A short film "Unchildren's Home" is a story about throwaway children who have found their family in a lonely woman Zoya and in children of their kind. They crowd in their house with strict rules, and the child protective services specialists think these conditions are unsuitable for living. These children have found their home in such a family orphanage. But government officials, either longing to shine at work or feeding their egos or being simply good-hearted, want these children to be in the “farms for orphans and poors.” There are the lonely woman bringing up ten children on the one side and child protective services specialists- on the other. The film is about national and human acts, moral courage and team spirit and raises the questions with complex answers.
