The director herself called it a great success. According to her, the film crew did not expect the film to be in such a wide distribution.
The main characters of the modern drama are the spouses Lena and Sergey performed by Evgenia Gromova and Alexander Pal. She works as a doctor; he is as a theater actor. The wife suffers from jealousy, as she suspects her husband of infidelity. The film was released in Russia in the fall.

The Rotterdam Festival is one of the largest European film forums. It has been held for almost fifty years and is aimed at supporting alternative and non-profit films. Six years ago, director Oksana Bychkova received one of the main prizes for her feature Another Year.
