An important aspect of their life is that they are not sexually active. Lena now believes her husband is cheating on her after reading a text message from Katya, Sergei's co-actor. She refuses to tolerate this and, in retaliation, cheats with an unknown man. Unexpectedly, a new universe opens up for her, full of passion and amazing feelings, which she uses to express her emotional state.
