Two friends rented a room together. One died, and the other married the girlfriend of the first. Love. Betrayal. Silence. Based on the story by M. Veller.

Five dreams against the walls of a never-sleeping city. The film is a mosaic about the sleepers and the awakened. What kind of Muscovites are they? Thinking, contemplating, doubting, loving and dreaming? What they see when they close their eyes is more important than what they see when they open them.
