One of the most acknowledged film interpretations of classic short story "The Overcoat" (1842) by Nikolai Gogol, describing a fate of a "small person".
The film reproduces episodes of the December 1825 uprising. Against the backdrop of the uprising, the love story of the Decembrist Annenkov and Polina Gebl unfolds.
A sailor meets a girl on a roller coaster at a funfair. They are both very late, but still decide to ride one final attraction called "The Devil's Wheel". Spin of the wheel changes their life entirely.
