23-year-old Muscovite pastry chef Kseniya (Svetlana Ivanova) is very busy with her new second-chance romantic relationship, while her 7-year-old son Artyom (Artyom Fadeev), suffering from the pain of his parents separation, hides in a world of fantasy every time he feels like been hurt or lonely. In his (children's theater play inspired) fantasies he sees himself as a superhero Kosmoboy, who, together with a giant Kind Robot (face and voice of Egor Beroev) battles against the terrifying monster robot Mrakovlast ("Darklord").

Everything changes when Kseniya decides to take a vacation in Sochi with her new boyfriend Yegor (Aleksandr Oleshko). At the same time she gets a call from her ex-husband and Artyom's father Ossetian Zaur (Egor Beroev), who serves as a peacekeeper in South Ossetia. He tells her he misses Artyom very much and asks her to send the boy to his parents, who live in the village of Sidamonta, right next to the administrative border separating South Ossetia from the rest of Georgia. Zaur assures her that everything is perfectly safe. As Yegor can not find understanding with Artyom and Kseniya needs some private time with her new lover, after some hesitation, she agrees, but on the condition that Zaur sends her son back immediately as soon as she asks him to. It occurs on the eve of August 8, 2008. When Kseniya learns about the beginning of war, she contacts with Artyom and learns that he remained alone. Realizing, that nobody can help her and there is no possibility to forward Artyom back to Russia, she goes to conflict epicenter to salvage her son.

Along the way Kseniya supports mobile communication with her son and that he was not frightened, reminds him of their home game in robots. The viewer is given the opportunity to see how in the 7-year-old boy's eyes the South Ossetian conflict becomes a fiction thriller, in which military technology is transformed into alien monsters, and the mother takes the shape of Kind Robot. Kseniya will go through many dangers but for the sake of her son she would be able to triumph over fear.
