Valentin Afanasyev, an artist, musician and scientist, and his wife, Princess Vera Obolenskaya, talk about how you can meet by chance at the ball of the revived Noble Assembly and stay together for life, despite all the obstacles and difficulties. And also about how sound and color actually relate from a scientific point of view, in the light of Valentin Afanasyev's discovery, and what the artist, who started out as a representative of the Soviet underground, is doing now.

The film is an allegory in which the attempt is made to show the inner process of movement of the composer's soul at the time of the birth of music.
