The film tells the story of a man's loneliness and emptiness in a big city. It is a high-quality and completely forgotten film based on Vera Tkachenko's short story of the same name. Irina and Viktor's life together is difficult. Viktor works tirelessly, but he constantly receives criticism from Irina. Despite the fact that her husband has just returned from a long business trip, Irina demands that he get a ticket to the Caucasus. Their daughter has fallen in love with a local eccentric and doesn't care about her father's opinion. Victor only hears mockery from his daughter. The days pass in a gloomy and meaningless manner. When he meets the woman he once loved, Victor realizes that he married Irina only because she was expecting a child.
