The film is based on a conversation about the directing techniques of Galina Volchek, about the search for intonation when creating performances, which was continuously going on not only on stage, but also behind the scenes, where sensitivity and understanding when working with fellow actors were side by side with rigidity in building a global and very complex mechanism - theater! The film focuses on the intransigence of the Wolf director, but the maternal tenderness and spiritual generosity of Galina Borisovna, for whom Sovremennik was not just a theater, but the first and only home.
