The wild Nineties... Scarcity, “new Russians”, and you have a million rubles in your pocket... or emptiness. But the formation of a new culture is in full swing - private theaters, newspapers, and television channels are appearing, in which everything is imbued with the air of freedom and the Wind of Change. A young actor, a Russian immigrant from Central Asia, finds himself in this whirlwind. He is not alone - with him is a girl who ran away from the “tempting” prospect of marriage according to local customs. Meanwhile, the young man is taken under her wing by an actress who is much older than him and more experienced in all respects. Confrontation between women is inevitable... In addition, new interested parties are arriving from the southern abroad, and someone's hand is calmly loading a pistol from the Cheka era.
