The film depicts the social and cultural distance between the inhabitants of an exclusive apartment in downtown Moscow and a crumbling khrushchevka in Moscow's industrial suburb. Elena is a woman with a proletarian background who connects these disparate worlds. She met Vladimir, an elderly business tycoon, in a hospital when she was his nurse. Their alliance has been described by a critic as "a morganatic marriage nearly a century after the October Revolution".
Elena's son from a previous marriage is poor and wants money from Vladimir to have one of his sons enrolled in a university, keeping him out of the compulsory military service. After Vladimir makes it clear that he is not going to subsidize Elena's relatives, she decides to poison him in order to inherit his fortune. Vladimir plans to leave the apartment to his only daughter from an earlier marriage.

Spune-mi, crezi c-as fi in stare sa te insel
Crezi ca mi-as permite sa te pierd
Cand tu esti tot ce mi-a ramas.
Eu ti-am spus mereu, barfa e o arta
Lumea incearca sa ne desparta.
Si daca n-ai incredere in mine spune-mi acum
Poate ar fi mai bine sa o luam pe alt drum
Si daca n-ai incredere in mïne n-are rost
Sa ramana cum a fost...
