Cousins Ruslan and Max didn’t care for each other since childhood. In adulthood, they were united by just one thing: both became doctors. But now something else has brought them together: they are forced to live in the same apartment and, whether they like it or not, have to communicate. Most of all, though, both are unhappy in their personal lives. Ruslan has buried his wife, while Max’s marriage, successful psychoanalyst though he is, is falling apart. A sudden feeling for a remarkable girl, Kristina, drives Max to push it away, hoping to mend the family boat, while Ruslan shields his former lover—who is facing inevitable death in a car accident—with his own body. Will capricious fate appreciate their nobility?
