< Golova-Zhestyanka (Tin Head)>
Zhenya (16) is the living image of her nickname Zhest (Harsh), ruining relationships with everyone around after surviving concussion and leg injury. She walks with a limp, is cynical about life, and blaming her best (and now former) friend Prikhodka, targeting all her anger and cynicism at him. Zhenya is hard on everyone – her parents, older brother, friends and classmates. Everything changes when she meets a robotics society, headed by Stanislav who becomes her mentor. By interacting with robots, Zhenya learns to communicate with people, she starts to enjoy life and, most importantly, forgives and regains her old friend.
