Plot synopsis
Life in the world of classical dance demands particular concentration. Art can absorb you completely and alienate from people - there are good few examples of that kind. Ulyana has interrupted her dancing experiments at the peak of her career for her little daughter. Of course, child, a living God’s creature, is more important than anything created by human. Masha, her daughter, is growing up and Ulyana decides to come back to the stage. But art is very jealous. The ballet dancer has to take the all the steps to the mastership picks she once possessed.
