Psychological melodrama based on
the motives of Yury Nagibin’s story
«Three men and one woman, and
one more man».
The beginning of the 20th century.
The young couple Vladislav
Eschenbach and Sofia
Pshebyshevskaya arrive in Tiflis,
where sun, wine, ancient architecture
and new impressions await
them. She is the eternal mistress;
it is her trade, her way of life and

before their marriage, but he cannot
come to terms with her way of life.
They are overcome by vanity, by the
desire for understanding, and even
by despair. For each of them the
views of the other are nonsense, but
they still try to live together. The outcome
of this story seems obvious.
But it takes an unexpected turn: in
the life of the strange couple there
occurs a moment when each of them
has to resolve the single most important
question…
