Come back to me, my memory

Journalist Tamara Malysheva is deeply unhappy in her personal life with her alcoholic husband Andrey. The editorial office sends Tamara to a small Ukrainian village to investigate the reasons that prompted a soldier who came from the army to hit his mother-in-law with an axe and received 11 years of strict regime imprisonment for this. There she meets Yuri, a man who has been "waiting for her all her life" and with whom she falls in love without looking back. Further events are developing in the most incredible way.
