Russia, the beginning of the 20th century. Constantin, a composer, attends an evening of music. He is bored, uninterested in both the empty conversations of acquaintances and their persuasions to play the one tune that once made him famous. Tired of their attention, he hides in the next room, when he hears a familiar tune coming from the living room, the same melody he wrote several years ago. Music brings him back to the past, when he was still happy with his Muse.
