In the city of Moscow, young Yulia feels rather lonely because she misses her dead mother and her
father Valentin is almost never home because he works for the army. One morning at school,
the teacher tells the class about an incoming meteor shower and only the nerd Gleb knows the
answers to his questions. Yulia prefers to gossip with her girlfriend Svetlana,
who has tickets for an incoming concert. However Svetlana is disappointed to see that after class,
Yulia leaves with her friend Tyoma instead of her. Later at home, Yulia asks Valentin for permission
to watch the meteor shower, but Valentin forbids it for the sake of her safety. Furious,
Yulia calls Tyoma, who convinces her to disobey her dad because this is a once-in-a-lifetime
event. Moments later, Tyoma picks Yulia up and they join the crowd that is gathering on the
streets. Suddenly a crazy driver passes by in his sports car and almost causes an accident.
Tyoma approaches the car when it stops and breaks the mirror to then hit the driver,
which causes the co-pilot to get angry. At that moment Tyoma's gang shows up as backup,
scaring the drivers into not fighting after all. Svetlana also shows up and reveals she has the
keys to the roof of her apartment building for a better view, so Yulia and Tyoma join her up there.
While waiting for the shower to start, Tyoma gets bored quickly and drags Yulia to Svetlana's
room to get frisky while Svetlana stays behind watching the meteors. Meanwhile out in space,
an alien spaceship is seen traveling through our solar system. When the meteor shower begins,
one of the meteors hits the spaceship and causes it to start failing and enter Earth's atmosphere.
The Russian military thinks it'll crash on their cities and immediately launches missiles to try
to make it explode before impact. Unfortunately it doesn't work and the ship crashes in Moscow, where
it destroys several buildings. Svetlana instantly dies when the ship hits her building and her room
loses half of its structure, causing Yulia to almost fall. Luckily Tyoma catches her just
in time. Once the ship finally stops moving, the military immediately begins evacuating the city,
and Tyoma runs through the streets with Yulia in his arms until the cops accept to take her to the
hospital. The army discusses the issue and sends some soldiers to make first contact, including
Valentin and a scientist. With several shooters placed on neighboring roofs just in case, Valentin
and his companion find a mechanical-looking alien and try to communicate with it. The alien seems
to understand their welcoming words and speaks back in an unknown language that somehow Valentin
manages to understand anyway, but it gives the scientist a panic attack. Moments later,
Valentin informs the higher-ups that the aliens just want to fix their ship and leave, so they
should be left alone. Some soldiers think they should destroy the ship before the aliens change
their minds, but Valentin convinces them to be patient since their shooting first is what caused
the crash in the first place. While newscasts all over the world cover the incident, Yulia wakes up
in a hospital and learns about Svetlana's death when she finds her earbuds. The tv in the room
shows that her father is in charge of leading an operation that is building a protective structure
around the spaceship. The doctor tells her it's ok for her to go, and Yulie finds Tyoma waiting
for her outside. He tries to take her home, but Valentine arrives and takes her himself. He's
thankful that Tyoma saved his daughter's life but he also points out that she wouldn't have
been in danger in the first place if it wasn't for Tyoma's invitation. On their way home, Yulia sees
anti-alien graffiti on the streets, and her dad refuses to answer her questions. At the apartment,
Yulia learns her grandmother Lyubov will be taking care of her because as always, her father
is too busy with work. Schools are still opening despite the crash and the school bus is replaced
by an actual tank. In the corridor, Yulia sees Svetlana's memorial, which makes her mood worse.
The teacher tries to point out how important it is to have made contact with aliens and that they
don't know the full story. However Yulia's furious because she blames the aliens for having killed
their friends and family, not to mention the army isn't doing anything. In the end she's so upset
that she leaves the class, and the others follow her. Sometime later, Yulia steals her father's gun
from his safe and goes to see Tyoma at the hideout where he hangs out with his gang. The guys don't
like seeing a girl in their hideout and almost start a fight, but Tyoma immediately reminds them
Yulia is his girl and they must respect that. Today the group is spreading negative comments
about aliens on social media just to troll, and Yulia takes advantage to ask them to help her get
revenge for Svetlana's death. The gang loves the idea and approaches an old abandoned building,
which has a secret entrance that they cross to arrive at the quarantined zone. Tyoma tells Yulia
to wait in a car because it's dangerous, but after the boys are gone, Yulia leaves the car anyway and
goes to the ruins of Svetlana's apartment. While the boys find a weird shield-like object inside a
shop, Yulia finds both sadness and comfort in her girlfriend's belongings, only to suddenly
be startled when she finds an alien in the room. She tries to shoot at it, but the bullets bounce
off the alien armor. Then she tries to run away and almost falls off the building,
but the alien immediately catches her to save her life. For a brief moment, Yulia swears she can see
a human face inside the armor. The alien tries to communicate, but at that moment the gang arrives
and begins hitting the creature, causing it to slip and fall into the shop. The group rushes
to check on it and discovers that the metal thing is an exoskeleton, and the blood stains indicate
the aliens that wear them are human-like. Yulia notices that among a pile of bodies, the alien is
pretending to be a dead man too, and she decides to keep the secret because he saved her. Then the
group leaves the area taking the exoskeleton with them, but leaving the mysterious object behind.
When the army arrives, they take the shield for themselves. After hiding the armor in the hideout,
the gang goes home, but Yulia can't sleep and decides to go back to Svetlana's building.
She finds the alien unconscious because of blood loss through a big wound and after wrapping him
up in plastic, he takes him away in her car. In the morning, Yulia contacts Gleb because he's
studying medicine, and he accepts to help. Gleb takes a look at the alien and points out that his
anatomy is human-like enough to be treated with human means, meaning the alien needs a transfusion
for all the blood he lost. Yulia calls a friend of her father's and uses that connection to get
a private room in the hospital. The teens sneak inside and Gleb does a blood test to discover the
alien has the same blood group as Yulia, so she can help with the transfusion. When Gleb ends up
fainting because he's too nervous, Yulia does the transfusion herself, which immediately helps the
alien feel better. In fact the alien wakes up for a few seconds and transfers his metal bracelet to
Yulia before falling unconscious again. Afterward, they hide the alien in Yulia's garage and Gleb
promises to keep the secret because he obviously has a crush on her. Then Yulia goes home and takes
a shower when suddenly the water begins moving around her wrist. Yulia discovers the bracelet can
control water, with which she has fun for a while. Meanwhile the soldiers bring the shield-like
object to their base and begin investigating it, quickly learning that it can control water too.
Speaking of water, a fisherman's shocked to discover that the river that passes near the
spaceship has been completely drained, and the military scientists arrive at the conclusion
that the spaceship is using Earth's water to fix its damage. The higher-ups are starting to see
this as an attack, and Valentin has a long argument with them to convince them to give
him more time. Sometime later, Yulia goes back to the garage because the alien has woken up.
Speaking perfect Russian, he introduces himself as Hakon and explains he left the ship to look
for a device called "shilk". Yulia allows him to borrow some clothes before kicking him out,
so Hakon leaves alone, and Gleb makes Yulia feel guilty about it. When Hakon tries to re-enter the
quarantine zone, the patrolling officers see him and immediately arrest him, which is seen by Yulia
from afar. Meanwhile Tyoma's gang is inspecting the exoskeleton and discovers human tools can't
damage it, in fact the few marks they manage to make instantly repair themselves when they touch
water. One of the guys ends up activating the armor by mistake, which puts him in agonizing
pain. An argument ensues about what to do with it, and they decide the military should take it. Tyoma
tries to call Valentin, but since he's busy, the call is ignored. Deciding to speak to him
in person, Tyoma and the gang drive to the base and find it surrounded by a furious crowd that is
demanding more water because the rationed supply isn't enough. One of the protesters throws a rock
at a soldier to start a riot, and the soldiers think the gang is involved, so they begin hitting
them as more soldiers arrive to control the crowd. Tyoma puts his friends in the car and sends them
away but he stays to try to convince the civilians to go away because it isn't worth the trouble. The
soldiers end up arresting Tyoma anyway, and by the time Valentin arrives to see what's going on,
Tyoma has lost faith in the army and decides not to give them the exoskeleton after all.
At the police station, Hakon sees on the news that the military has the shield-like object,
which turns out to be the shilk he's looking for. While the officers are confused because Hakon's
hand doesn't have fingerprints, Yulia arrives and uses the fact she's a colonel's daughter to be
allowed inside. She immediately bails Hakon out, but when she sees Tyoma and tries with him too,
Tyoma gets angry and turns her down because she doesn't want any favors from the military dogs.
Hakon leaves the station with Yulia and explains that he needs the shilk to be able to return
to his planet, so Yulia decides to use her dad for help. When they arrive at the military base,
the guard doesn't let her pass because Valentin's busy, so Yulia lies and says she's pregnant. When
the message gets to Valentin, he immediately drops his work to meet her, and he thinks Hakon may be
the father. Yulia plays with the lie to get closer to her dad, comforting him with a hug to steal
his access card. Then she gives it to Hakon and while Yulia distracts Valentin with an argument
about her pregnancy, Hakon goes to look for the shilk. After stealing some scientist clothes to
disguise himself, Hakon sneaks into the laboratory where they're analyzing the shield-like object and
with just one touch, he manages to open it and retrieve the shilk. By the time the scientists
finally realize that hadn't been Valentin and trigger the alarm, Hakon has ditched the costume
and is already reuniting with Yulia at the parking lot, where Valentin orders a soldier to drive them
home. Meanwhile Tyoma is released from jail and meets with his friend to start organizing a riot.
They reinforce their car, make a bunch of fire balloons, and fill the trunk with baseball bats.
Tyoma calls Yulia to apologize for his outburst at the station and asks her to join them, but Yulia
turns him down. At Yulia's home, Hakon explains he needs to take the shilk to the ship, but Yulia
points out they'll have to wait until midnight to avoid the guards. Hakon meets Yulia's dog and uses
the shilk to heal the pet's sick eyes, explaining his technology is so good that his race has almost
achieved immortality. Lyubov finds them together in the room and thinks Hakon is pretty weird,
so Yulia pretends he's just a foreign friend. Afterward they have dinner together and Hakon
copies everything Yulia does, thus she takes the chance to trick him into eating something spicy,
which he hates. They also watch the news on tv and discover that thanks to the security cameras,
the military has put Hakon's face out as a wanted man. When Lyubov enters the kitchen,
Yulia has to cover the tv to hide the truth and lets her grandmother think Hakon is her boyfriend.
At that moment, Valentine arrives at the area with a whole military convoy, so Lyubov distracts
him while Yulia and Hakon run away. They go to see Gleb, who is watching a viral video made by
Tyoma and his gang. It spreads the message that the aliens and the military suck and that the
civilians should take back what belongs to them. Hakon borrows some new clothes and Yulia remembers
the concert tickets, realizing the crowd would be the perfect place to hide. At the concert,
Yulia teaches Hakon how to dance and have fun. In return, Hakon touches Yulia's hands and connects
their minds to show her what his amazing planet looks like. He explains that he wasn't supposed
to make contact with humans and that the army shot his ship down. He also says humans shouldn't
approach his ship because it will cause it to self-destruct to stop people from stealing their
advanced technology. Their little chat is seen by one of the gang members, who immediately calls
Tyoma to let him know of Yulia's betrayal. Later in the evening, Yulia takes Hakon back into the
quarantined zone through the abandoned building. Hakon notices Yulia smokes and disregards the fact
it's harmful because she loves it, so he takes the cigarette to try to understand what love and death
are like together. Touched by his philosophy, Yulia kisses Hakon before letting him go. Suddenly
Yulia gets a call from Tyoma and decides to break up with him, but it turns out the gang is already
there and they just were tracking the call. They begin beating Hakon up for stealing their leader's
girl and Hakon doesn't defend himself because of protocol. The shilk falls from his pockets and
the gang takes it, causing Yulia to beg for mercy and Tyoma hits her for it. This makes
Hakon immediately react and finally fight, easily knocking everyone down in seconds. One of the guys
tries to shoot Hakon, but Yulia pulls at his arm and the bullet hits one of his friends instead,
killing him. The guards hear the shot and come to investigate, so the gang runs away. Hakon's shilk
can't resurrect the dead, and he and Yulia end up being arrested. Once the gang is safe, Tyoma tells
them to spread the news that the alien has killed their friend and to invite everyone to riot with
them. Furious people from all over Moscow leave their classes and their jobs to gather with the
gang, and Tyoma riles them up by offering a speech about their right to reclaim Earth and
avenge their dead loved ones. He also shares all the weapons from his car. The school teacher tries
to make people see reason and how there's more going on than meets the eye, but he's ignored.
The furious crowd rushes to the quarantined zone, starting fires and breaking the entrance with
a car. At first the military simply defends the line without opening fire, but this only
gives the crowd the chance to push more and break through the barricade. While a fierce fight begins
between soldiers and civilians, Tyoma returns to the hideout and endures the pain of putting
on the exoskeleton. With all the violence going around it, the ship releases several AI-controlled
exoskeletons to defend itself, hurting anyone that dares come close. Meanwhile at the base,
Hakon apologizes to Yulia for getting her into this mess and kisses her. When Valentin arrives
and sees the shilk, Yulia tells him the truth about Hakon and blames him for everything because
she knows it was the army that shot down the ship. Valentine refuses to help them because they can't
know if they can trust an alien, but his speech is interrupted by a call from the Prime Minister,
who wants him to use full military power to stop the violent crowd. Yulia can't believe
this is becoming a small war, so when Valentin hugs her to apologize for leaving her again,
Yulia steals her father's gun and threatens to end things for herself. Valentin has no choice but to
allow her to leave with Hakon in an army truck. While Valentin takes his men to control the crowd,
Hako and Yulia try to reach the spaceship, only to find their way blocked by Tyoma wearing the
armor. He crashes the car and knocks Yulia out, so Hakon has no choice but to fight him. The
alien's human-like body can't defend itself well enough from the powerful exoskeleton,
but before Tyoma can claim victory, Yulia wakes up and hits him with the car. Then Yulia rushes
to reunite with Hakon while Tyoma comes out of the exoskeleton because it's lost an arm. While
Valentin shows the AI armors that humanity means no harm, Tyoma refuses to give up and steals a
rifle to shoot Hakon and Yulia. Valentin sees this and immediately orders his men to arrest
Tyoma while the other aliens bring Hakon's and Yulia's bodies into the ship, since they're hurt
but not dead. Valentin follows them and discovers his daughter is being put inside a healing pod,
and while the couple is treated, the ship's AI explains the aliens are prohibited to visit Earth
because it's considered an extremely aggressive social environment. However considering Yulia's
sincere love for Hakon, there may be hope to revisit that rule in the future. Once she's
been healed, Yulia says goodbye to Hakon and watches the spaceship finally leave
the planet while releasing the excess water. Sometime later, the quarantined zone is open
and everyone goes back to their normal lives. Yulia thinks about the fact an alien believed in
humans more than humans believe in themselves and wonders what that says about humanity.
