Twin sisters from the Vladimir Oblast, age 21, dream of becoming famous and making it in Moscow. They participate in the popular Muz-TV quiz show "Amazingly Beautiful." When asked "What is Holocaust?" they answer: "Glue for wallpaper." The episode indeed makes them famous overnight. In March, 2012, the journalist Mumin Shakirov invited the Karatygin sisters for a talk at the Moscow office of Radio Free Europe and decided to take them on a trip to Auschwitz. The film that results from it is a moving journey from Moscow to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum and forever transforms its carefree but deeply compassionate protagonists.
