Somewhere at the end of the world, in a small village by the sea, several men and women driven away by civilization’s cruelty and vanity have found their temporary wharf. Here they meet love, jealousy, betrayal, devotion, and mainly human goodness. Here they ascertain their own personalities and systems of values, and make their choices. The screenplay is based on Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" but the story takes place here and now. The film inspires us to smile with a look of sympathy for those intellectuals around us.
