A long summer day in 1936. Colonel Kotov, an aging military hero of the Bolshevik revolution, is enjoying the sweet life in his country house, together with his captivating young wife Maroussia, their six-year-old daughter, and numerous family members and friends. Into this idyllic setting enters Dimitri, a young man who was Maroussia's lover a decade ago, before leaving under mysterious circumstances.
