The film's protagonist, a hearing-impaired high school student named Styopa, is in love with Yulia, with whom he studies at the same school. At graduation, he will have to make an important choice for his fate: to confess his feelings to her or not. The film presents two parallel plot developments, demonstrating alternative outcomes of their relationship depending on Styopa's decision: a long-term relationship leading to the creation of a family, or a breakup. The voice-over in poetic form reveals the inner world of the characters and the peculiarities of communication with people with hearing impairments.
