Moscow in the 60s
Lena discovers that her fiancé is not the person he appeared to be, and calls off the wedding. Then, she begins a journey to discover the meaning of her life, in the company of a group of artists with the same goal.
At first glance, it seems to be a story about a relationship that did not work, but this issue becomes secondary as the film progresses, revealing that, as a whole, it is an expression about the social life of the Soviet artistic/elitist class, in the 60s, which sometimes tends to the pretentious, in a certain way.
The atmosphere of mystery that we see right at the beginning fades, the characters do not leave their bubble of self-contemplation, leaving very little to absorb, except for the cinematography of great quality, a nice soundtrack and a careful and well-edited sound design.
