Tracking down the killer in the courtyard of his house, Alex meets a single woman, Vera, who lives in the apartment next to the killer. Their relationship develops against the backdrop of preparations for revenge.

The stranger finds the address where the killer is hiding, but he is arrested by riot police. Alex writes a will and goes to the fish factory, where he finds the officer already dead.

Balayan continued to shoot in the 90s , but as if by inertia. In the modern painting “Two moons, three suns”, a new, recognizable life was no longer felt. There was no previous lightness, confidence in the film adaptation of Turgenev’s “ First Love ”. The past has become as uncomfortable for the author as the present. Recently, in one interview, the director admitted: “When they gave me freedom, oddly enough, I lost the desire to make films. We were slaves who dreamed of freedom, but it turned out that when they were released, some went into chaos, while others lost their walls who are accustomed to ruin. That’s such a mentality. And now the time is transitional, meaningless.
