Olya is used to the fact that the whole world lies at her feet. And not because she’s rich or overly ambitious: it’s just that Olya works as a crane operator and knows that it’s better to look down on problems — that way they don’t seem so significant. Olya has a ton of problems: the rent is overdue, the hairdryer broke down at the most important moment, and she’s never had an evening dress in her life — even though today is exactly the day when she desperately needs one. After all, in the evening, Olya goes to the Capella to see and hear the one she came for — her Valya — singing in the second row of the boys’ choir.

MovieDrama
This is the second installment of a three-part series of autobiographical films about the director's life. The first, which won various awards for its maker, was entitled Zamri Oumi Voskresni and was later retitled Zari, Umri, Vokresni ("Freeze-Die-Come to Life"). At the end of that film, set at the conclusion of World War II, the young Valerka was striving hard to overcome the inertia of just getting by, along with his sometime friend Galiya. In this one, he is adjusting to Galiya's death and is back in school and is living with his mother, a prostitute. After a girl at the school is found to have been gang-raped, the headmaster chooses Valerka to be one of the scapegoats, though he had nothing to do with the deed. The punishment seems mild enough, he was simply expelled from school. However, after quarrelling with his mother about the incident, he takes to the road, and discovers a society so bleak, degraded and hopeless that it is a wonder he remained alive.
