Andrei, a Russian nobleman, flesh and blood of the enlightened nineteenth century, volunteers to go to war to go through it together with the people. The fighting takes place in the middle of the merciless Russian winter. And the noble goal unexpectedly becomes the reason for a religious revelation. But does anyone in this world need it? The film is based on the story "Four Days" by Vsevolod Garshin.

A young man named Yegor lives with his single mother. He wishes to become a musician, but the living conditions don’t allow for that. After a falling-out with his mother he runs away from home in search of at least a breath of fresh air. His neighbour, Katya, wants to be a teacher, but her husband is incapable of understanding her. After a quarrel she leaves the apartment. Katya and Yegor accidentally meet. Are these two able to help each other?

Inna is the lady of the house. Oleg is the young man who thoughtlessly agreed to drop by. It was a chance meeting, their conversations are idle, but a strange urge makes her open the door and forces him to step over the threshold.

He wakes her up in the mornings and brings her coffee to bed. She does not notice his embarrassment and takes his efforts for granted. Trying to find answers to his questions he turns to strangers though an open-hearted talk with her would be sufficient. He wants to live with her as a man. They are brother and sister.
