Only seagulls are free ... How you want to soar in the sky as easily as this free bird!

Two actresses, young, full of hope, and an elderly, wise experience.

The son of a lady at age, a beginning playwright, writes plays. They do not like anybody, except for the girl in whom he is in love. Yes, and she reads the text of her role mechanically.

She is in love with another, a man much older than she.

And he prefers a quiet life with his longtime mistress. But not against an uncomplicated affair with a naive girl.

All the inhabitants of the old Russian farmstead are deeply unhappy. If they love, then without reciprocity, if they dream, then about the unrealizable.

They talk, but do not hear each other.

Are these intelligent and reasonable people and will not understand their loved ones? Mother - a suffering son, a girl in love - a complete egoist?

It is grievous to strive for that life, "what it looks like in dreams."
