A tragic story of love and loneliness - this is the unknown life of the great Russian writer Ivan Bunin. The confused love story that involved Bunin, his wife Vera, the young poet Galina Plotnikova, opera singer Marga Kovtun and literary man Leonid Gurov. A work of great honesty and piercing psychology.

Based on Edvard Radzinsky’s play "104 Pages about Love". They saw each other in a cafe. They could not meet, as in this cafe there was nobody but the bartender. And then for a long time they lived, not seeing anyone around: love is self-sufficient, it rejects the superfluous. Meetings at the desolate metro station "Arbatskaya". He will make time between business trips, she between flights. Flowers and kisses outside, in the cold rain. A bed in his empty bright house. Parting again. But soon he will understand that "the most beautiful girl in Moscow and the Moscow region" is his fate...

Today’s twenty-something Russians are the first generation in the country’s post-communist history to have grown up free. Their twenties are the age of freedom, of fast-changing events and intense emotions. Perhaps only at this age they can live a whole life in one day. A young girl and her two accident companions walk halfway around St.-Petersburg; they flirt and tease each other, and for ninety minutes they act out a real-time romantic drama. This stroll is full of laughter and tears against a backdrop of the hustle and bustle of the streets.

This is a story about a man and about a woman. Or rather, about male and about female. Two halves that search for each other and don’t coincide. He is an ordinary guy from a small mining town. She is a diva from the capital’s art world. Their meeting is accidental. Their relationship is doomed.
