Set in a Moscow hospital amidst the Soviet Union's decline, the story follows young patients facing life-threatening heart surgeries. They embrace the present with humor and fleeting romances, all under the watchful eye of the stern matron, Baba Nastya. Key characters include a Turkmen youth, a Greek Comsomol boy, a Russian Stalinist with a mechanical heart, and the beautiful yet tragic Mary. The narrative explores the tension between soulless conformity and the yearning for poetic individuality, questioning who truly holds the future.
