Based on Edvard Radzinsky’s play "104 Pages about Love".
They saw each other in a cafe. They could not meet, as in this cafe there was nobody but the bartender. And then for a long time they lived, not seeing anyone around: love is self-sufficient, it rejects the superfluous. Meetings at the desolate metro station "Arbatskaya".

But soon he will understand that "the most beautiful girl in Moscow and the Moscow region" is his fate...
