Plot
The film follows Kira (Victoria Isakova), a successful magazine editor in Paris, who is haunted by memories of Sergey Dobrovsky, the man she lost 17 years ago. She copes with her grief by writing him letters. The narrative shifts to early 1990s Leningrad, where a young Kira (Anna Chipovskaya) falls in love with Dobrovsky, a film studies teacher. Their romance is marred by Kira's three miscarriages and Dobrovsky's alcoholism, which derails his filmmaking dreams.
As Sergey gains recognition as a critic, Kira begins an affair with her editor, Maxim, which leads to her leaving Dobrovsky. After she becomes pregnant, Dobrovsky succumbs to drugs and dies from an overdose. Kira learns of his death from Maxim, who withheld the news to protect her. Unable to forgive him, Kira ends their relationship. Back in Paris, Kira also breaks up with the younger Sergey after he discovers her unsent letters to Dobrovsky, finalizing her emotional closure.
