Three young women wander along the ocean shore. The waves gently roll onto the white sand. By the grace of Hymen, they were carried far away from their native Moscow streets. Then, in the early nineties, the future seemed hopeless. In pursuit of illusory hope, they were thrown to the west. Even separated by thousands of kilometers, they managed to maintain friendly ties. But did they manage to find happiness?..
