One day, a delicate ballerina named Olya meets the rough, surly boxer Evgeny. The contrast between their worlds and their philosophies is so sharp that even the possibility of these two characters crossing paths seems incredible. Are they ready to embrace those shy feelings that have sprung up between them? Can they overcome all external influences and allow their fragile loving souls to step out into the open?
