Summer. During the admission to the acting school, Lisa gets acquainted with one of the entrants and leads him to the sculpture workshop of her father, where they spend several days together. In a closed space, their relationship becomes a game. Without borders, without time, without skin. An intimate depiction of a passionate, and sometimes violent, relationship between two young actors at an acting school in St Petersburg.
