Plot synopsis
One winter day and one night in the lives of thirty-year-old friends, former classmates. They must overcome everyday difficulties to meet and see off Sasha, who is leaving Moscow for a long time.

In this work, compiled from documentary observations, slightly mixed for the sake of storytelling, I wanted to draw attention to the moment when the present becomes the past.
