In the play by Andrey Gavryushkin based on the play by French playwright Laurent Mann, two stories of musicians are intertwined - a street guitarist and a seriously ill pianist. One refers to music as a pleasant pastime, an easy way to earn money, a hobby that has been successfully turned into a profession. The second breathes music and would live by it, if not for the disease - a rare, incurable, terrible. An easy acquaintance that ensued develops into a serious, sincere conversation, kindred spirits find each other, and Leo for the first time realizes the difference between himself and a true musician, understands the essence and meaning of serving music and the despair and pain of separation from it. Two worlds, two views, two destinies - one music, one goal of life.
Two hopelessly lonely people who have met by chance will never be able to be together: Leo needs Lina, crazy, obsessed, not like everyone else, and Lina dreams of becoming normal, like everyone around, like everyone else. But when she ceases to be herself, she will cease to be needed by the only person with whom she wants to be forever.
The black and white space of the performance is a strange reality that is not adapted for life, reflecting the inner essence of the story being told about a person forced to live the life for which he was not born, and every second realizing that he can never truly live.
