Alia Voznesenskaya is an extraordinary violinist. No, she doesn’t play any better than any other graduate of the Gnessin Academy. The difference is that, unlike her colleagues, from early childhood Alia hears the musical embodiment of the people, objects, and phenomena around her. And you have no idea how much this complicates her life!
One day Alia is invited to earn extra money at a wedding, where all the guests are dressed in a vampire style. Only when it turns out that this is a bit more than just a style, everything goes tumbling down.
