Nikolay Fomich Ferapontov is a muralist and "classic of socialist realism", who lived a life far from sinless. However, all success has remained in the distant past, and in his old age he has to make ends meet, interrupting by random orders. Everything changes when a young art critic Myasoedov appears on his doorstep and finds paintings in the back room, in which he unexpectedly recognizes masterpieces of fine art. Not really imagining the real origin of the paintings, Nikolay Fomich calls himself their author, and from that moment the hunt for money and fame begins.

Love comes without asking. Often not to those, not so and not then. Can a genuine feeling survive when everything started wrong and the whole world is against it? Give up everything or give up? Burn or survive?

An animated fantasy film based on the novel by A.S. Pushkin and the opera by P.I. Tchaikovsky, created in a unique author's technique - frame-by-frame processing of game blanks on glass using light-painting glaze. Barry, a famous director-animator, has been in love with the world of Pushkin since childhood and dreams of making a film based on the novel "Eugene Onegin". Illness has set priorities, and the director, together with his beloved cat, flies to Russia. Here, in the magical hotel "Onegin", everything is ready for immersion in the world of Pushkin. The film is dedicated to the director-puppeteer Barry Purvis.

The film consists of five short stories about the fates of four children who survived the terrorist attack at the Beslan school in 2004.
