Kolya and Sasha hide away in an old lodge in the middle of the forest. They are in love, and the world around seems strange and wonderful. But the idyll of the sunny summer days is continually disturbed by nightmares. Sasha dreams that she is submerged by a huge wave. Once they meet a mysterious married couple living in the neighbourhood. The Man and the Woman are very much like the young lovers. With their help, they try to understand their feelings.
In this spirited production of Leon Minkus's delightful ballet, young lovers Kitri (Nina Ananiashvili) and Basilio (Aleksei Fadeyetchev) are thwarted by her controlling father (Viktor Ailkin), who has plans to marry her off to foppish nobleman Gamache (Vladimir Golub). But when dashing adventurer Don Quixote (Alexsandr Astafiev) enters the village with his sidekick, Sancho Panza (Evgeny Katusov), fate just may smile upon the star-crossed couple.
After a failed marriage, Masha retreats to the sanctuary of her humble profession as a translator of serious literature. Financial difficulties force her to accept an offer to interpret during a seminar held by an English puppeteer.
