Plot

A Japanese pianist (Komaki Kurihara) travels to the Soviet Union to better understand the country's composers' production. She falls in love with Soviet composer Ilya (Yury Solomin), who has lost his parents in the Siege of Leningrad and also his wife during childbirth. The lovers enjoy Leningrad's white summer nights, and Ilya starts composing a piano concert inspired by Yuko. A couple of years later, they meet again in Japan in Kyoto, where Ilya is conducting his piano concert, and Yuko is the soloist. Ilya finds out that Yuko is a widow and starts to experience feelings of guilt.
