Enraged, a teacher murders a young female pupil. Over the years, another boy is bred for one sole purpose: to avenge his sister’s death.
A heartbreaking story about the tragic love between a young soloist named Andrey Dymov and an equally young, but more experienced "Priestess of Love" named Masha.
The film's characters are Pavel, a successful rake journalist who writes on acute Perestroika topics, and an intelligent but free woman (a doctor by profession) who is trying to escape from unnecessary love. A chance acquaintance becomes the beginning of their long difficult relationship on the way to love and mutual understanding.
