Overview
The three Cheremiskyi brothers live in the mountains where they don't dream of owning an iPhone7, because to earn half of its price, they have to go to bed at midnight and get up at 3 a.m. all summer long, milk a hundred sheep, make cheese, wash cauldrons... This is the usual daily routine of 9-year-old Sashko Cheremiskyi, who earned as much as 3,000 hryvnias from his "old stall" this summer. But with this money he did not buy a bike or a tablet, but paid shepherds to graze his four sheep, bought a backpack and notebooks for September 1, and donated the rest... to repair the school. His brother Yurko, at 10 years old, bakes bread, cooks borscht and braids his younger sister's hair. The eldest, 12-year-old Vasya, dreams of becoming a reporter or cameraman, but first he wants to see the big city. The three boys don't go to school because they have to chop wood for the winter. Otherwise, their large family will freeze to death...
