Kyiv, 1968, the end of the Thaw. Yura, a physics student, a successful Komsomol leader, a promising young scientist, finds himself in the grip of difficult circumstances and in the hell of his own doubts: he needs to make a moral choice, but he feels that he is not ready for it. After all, his life is a kind of buffer between two worlds: on the one hand, the world of the "golden youth", the children of the secretaries of the Communist Party of Ukraine, the Komsomol, and the KGB, and on the other, the world of his mother Klavka, who is one of those nameless and unheroic representatives of the Ukrainian intelligentsia who hold a powerful rear for the Sixties.
