Synopsis
Moscow's railway stations serve as a home for street children, often referred to as bums by local militia. These children reject traditional paths, avoiding school, orphanages, and family. They roam the streets, begging and stealing to survive. With the money they collect, they purchase tubes of glue, which they inhale from plastic bags for days. This practice leads them to experience altered states, referred to as "glitches," as they hold the glue-filled bags in their mouths.
