Where does the soul go after death? Options: 1) heaven/hell; 2) new life on Earth. Which one do you like best? Is it possible to combine them? Masha Zakharova, a leading employee of a secret research institute, comes up with an elegant theory on the fly, which is contemptuously rejected by Max, her colleague and, as it later turns out, a competitor for a place in the new laboratory. To prove that she is right and bring Max to light, she shows remarkable ingenuity, falls in love, is disappointed, is enchanted again and almost loses her life, finds out Max’s secret, but does not want to come to terms with it.
