Plot synopsis
He is an incipient modern painter, she is an incipient school teacher.Their chance acquaintance sets off a passionate but short love affair. An ugly mishap leads to a break-up. But the teacher, who once saw the world through the eyes of her beloved, returned to her own world with the soul of a painter. Now she can’t get rid of her new vision, of the painter’s gift: unwelcome memories about unfulfilled love.

This film from Germanica was not released on a large scale for an extremely banal reason - the abundance of "profanity", which is forbidden in the cinema. As in the case of Leviathan, the film had to be re-dialogued (however, the lucky ones managed to watch the original version as part of the Moscow Film Festival)

Selected in the following festivals or events :
- "Forbidden" contemporary Films, kinoglaz.fr (France), 2023
- Independant European Film Festival VOICES, Vologda (Russia), 2014
- Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF), Moscow (Russia), 2014
