1968. In the cold and inhuman outer space, the Moon circles Earth in an elliptic orbit. The USSR prepares for a flight to the Moon. On Earth it is night: dark blue, like the cold and inhuman outer space. A train passes through the night. Incomprehensible laws of the universe make bodies collide. Not heavenly bodies, but very terrestrial ones.

In a nostalgic Moscow of 1976, an unlucky actor meets a charismatic writer, a living classic of Soviet literature, who turns his life into a tragicomic farce with the artistic bohemia, foreign-currency prostitutes, the KGB staff and agents of the CIA.

In the dead of night, three sorcerers meet on the outskirts of Moscow. They have been forced to work against each other for a long time. The conflict, which involves the best witchcraft forces of the capital, is a banal love triangle. Alexey is an enviable man and earns well, his wife Masha, a complex and insecure young woman, has long lived only in the interests of her family, and her lover Irina will stop at nothing in order to take her place.
