Overview
Despite her parents' ban, 20-year-old Faina Feldman is going to conquer theatrical Moscow. The capital greets her with hostility, but Faina doesn't care much, especially since real friends and mentors appear in her life who teach, help, and patronize. Every minor success is followed by a serious life drama. Revolution, then war... and each time there is a serious struggle for life, which is based on fragile hope, a great love for the theater and absolute faith in one's own destiny.
