The plot is not developed; in the film we see a man (he) and a woman (she) who, in fact, are neither connected nor familiar with each other; they casually met in hospital. "She" (Viktoria Tolstoganova) does not see that she is in danger in connection with her plan to use a tape with illegally made recordings as compromising evidence in court. "He" (Il'ia Shakunov, an actor of the Petersburg TYuZ) is a gay translator who, after the random meeting with her, is pursued by her image which frequently pops up in front of him. As a consequence, his relationship with a young boy no longer satisfies him. Both he and she lose sight of the meaning of life, because of their own inability to see others and to see love, as perception relies on proximity instead of distance.

This can happen to anyone. If you are 18 years old. If your friends are already settled... Who started their own business, who went to college, and who joined the army... And only you don't know who to be yet... As in childhood, a firefighter or a pilot ... and there is no one to ask. You haven't spoken to your parents for half your life, and your little sister is still too young... And for you there is only one window to the world, this is the computer screen. And everything is different inside. There you can start all over again... Find new friends and even love... There you are strong and brave... There you can hear and tell the truth... It's so convenient! But if you had known earlier, how it would end...
