A 29-year-old aquarium employee named Sveta drifts through life on autopilot, dodging emotional intimacy by filling the void with random hookups. Her carefully guarded world shatters when she’s called to testify in a harassment case against university professor Pavel Rudin, a man she once had a secret affair with. Despite everything, Sveta remains hopelessly in love with Rudin and fiercely resolves to protect him, no matter the personal cost. To save him, she must finally confront the ghosts of her own past.
