Overview
Successful entrepreneur Vadim returns from a business trip to his country house, where his loving wife, Ksenia, and daughter, Ira, are waiting for him. Their life seems perfect: they love each other, live in comfort and complete harmony. But one day their idyll is shattered, and the characters will never be able to be together again. Unable to come to terms with the inevitable, one of the spouses loses himself in his happy memories, preferring them to the harsh reality.
