Synopsis

Love is not unequivocal, it is experienced by everyone in different ways at each moment in life. But it is always intense, it brings beauty, joy and sorrow. This is a trilogy about the relationships between two old people, two newly-weds and two children. The thread linking the three independent love stories is formed by songs sung by Ivan Kozlovski to lyrics by Alexander Pushkin, about trust, love and broken hearts. The first part, "Pavel and Lyalya (A Jerusalem Romance)" is the moving story of Lyalya who tends her fatally ill husband Pavel in a cheerfully matter-of-fact way and with endless patience. In "Sergei and Natasha (A Provincial Love Story)", the wedding day of two lovers is filmed. They have chosen each other despite their sceptical families. "Sasha en Katya (First Romance)" is a dramatic story of love, treachery and heart-rending sorrow at an infant school.
