Russian life in 1917 was not limited to civil confrontations, shootouts, demonstrations and rallies. Many people lived, or at least tried to live peacefully and constructively. The great Fyodor Shalyapin sang and staged opera performances in Moscow and Petrograd; director Vsevolod Meyerhold played the Lermontov Masquerade on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater, and Anna Akhmatova and Sergey Eisenstein applauded him. The future writer Konstantin Paustovsky eagerly absorbed impressions about the life of summer and autumn Moscow. And in the Moscow region estate Lopasnya-Zachatievskoe a happy accident led to the discovery of the longest manuscript by A.S. Pushkin, who was considered lost. The film is built on cinema and photo chronicles of a century ago.

Love overtook the famous conductor in Russia, which he had once abandoned. But the young beloved, old enough to be his daughter, the pianist Lizaveta, apparently really is his daughter...

The film takes place in the troubled October days of 1993. The characters — Sergey and Lisa — meet under strange circumstances. And then they are overtaken by love, for which everyone is ready to give their lives.
