Novorzhev is a small town in the Pskov region. After six in the evening, its streets are empty, and it seems that life in this place has stopped. But she is in full swing at the House of Culture, where local residents rehearse the play based on a play by a Spanish playwright. The heroes poison each other, try to shoot their relatives, die writhing in convulsions - and at some point it is no longer clear where life is and where is the theater.
