Heart-to-heart talks with the beauty awaken in him a deep feeling, but at the moment when Anton Ilyich decides to open up to her, everything goes upside down: surveillance begins behind him, work is full of nonstop troubles, and Alexandra seems to be completely different from the person she claims to be…
