Yura, a young man who has served eight years for a minor crime, is released from prison. He finds himself in his village, already in independent Ukraine. On the radio is heard a voice of the first president, who promises Ukrainians the right to a dignified life, and young people in clubs "dance non-Moscow, independent rock 'n' roll". The young man is trying to fit into a new picture of the world, even starting a relationship with a Latvian girl from Moscow. The smell of freedom and international friendship wafts through the air.

A good girl, Luda, under the patronage of her father, works in a trade mission and studies in absentia at the Faculty of Economics of a Siberian university.
