Aleksej is a dramatic story about a street child from Vyborg, Russia. Aleksej spends most of his days on the streets of Vyborg, trying to provide for himself by exchanging currency for tourists. He lives an abandoned apartment block in the outskirts of Vyborg together with other street children. He has only just turned 16, and he has spent his entire life in an orphanage. After Aleksej ran away about a year ago, he has been sharing the block with other boys who have faced a similar fate. Aleksej has never met his parents, and he knows nothing about them. One day while working on the city streets, he is pulled into a fight as his friend is being assaulted by tourists. When Aleksej attempts to help him get out of the situation, the friend stabs one of the men to death. The boys' only option is to run and hide. This marks the beginning of Aleksej's adventure, which takes him from a youth prison to the criminal underworld of Saint Petersburg.
