Plot synopsis
Nastia, the star of a popular TV series comes to a sleepy provincial town. She has no one to turn to but her own sister. Nastia is disillusioned in life and disappointed in herself, she tries to start her life from a new point. Everything is going its usual way here. Every evening young boys and girls gather in the yard of the local hostel. They have nothing to do, life in the rural town offers no chances. Everyone wants to love, but to love someone else and in a different way. Nastia’s arrival heightens the tension in the relationships between friends, and from that moment on secrets are no longer secrets and mysteries stop being mysteries. The provincial town is swept over with the love fever. And then, when it seems that everything can be changed, accidental tragedy turns things back, just as they used to be.
