The teacher Lydia Mikhailovna and her former student Zhenya are going to celebrate the New Year. Worthy men were not found, and therefore decided to celebrate the holiday together.

Suddenly a doorbell rings and Lydia Mikhailovna recognizes her first love in the uninvited guest - Borya, whom they have not seen for 30 years. But Borya does not recognize Lidia Mikhailovna and takes the teacher for Zhenya's mother! Offended Lydia Mikhailovna tries to expose the guest for the door, but Zhenya decides to resurrect his former love and finds an excuse that Borya should stay: he must kill the carp ...

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Masterful Cinema
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
