Internal eschatology of the protagonist associated with the thought of the short duration of human existence in this world, inevitably enters into dialogue with the multimillion-year history of life on Earth in the form of those archaeological and paleontological artifacts that he himself personally revealed to the modern world.

The film tells the story of an outstanding 20th-century cellist Natalia Shakhovskaya, professor of the Moscow Conservatory and Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía, a holder of the honorary title People's Artist of the USSR, whose name is etched in the history of both Russian and world music. The film is the final message from a brilliant musician, a great teacher, and an amazing person. She had many opportunities to leave the country Russia. However, it was completely unacceptable for Shakhovskaya, for whom Motherland, honour, and dedication to music were the values of a decent musician.
