Plot synopsis
An actress and dancer flies to India to find her mother, who once abandoned her and joined a sect. Soon she no longer understands whether what she sees is happening in India or whether it is a set inside her native theater. Masks, dolls, songs - is this happening on the square of a small town or on one of the sites of St. Petersburg?
