Famous businessman and politician Andrei arrives to St. Petersburg, where he agrees to give an interview to a young journalist Irina. She, trying to keep up with half an hour allotted to her, offers an unusual format for a conversation and sits at the piano... From that moment on, the questions mainly come out of the lips of Andrei, who at first condescendingly perceives the teenage arguments of the girl about the sense of life, but then his attitude changes. And only when Irina leaves after the agreed 30 minutes, our hero realizes that naive and ridiculous youthful maximalism of this girl is justified by very important circumstances.
