Day. From a bird's eye view, the camera slowly descends into the park of the Odessa Film Studio. Bare black tree trunks around. Brown leaves underfoot. Ancient Italian fountain with sad Narcissus. Late autumn. Deserted and quiet. Long panorama of mossy wall. Princess San Donato's Mansion ... Bas-reliefs in the frame: Rafael ... Pushkin ... Shakespeare ... Maria Medici ... Trubetsky's coat of arms ... The camera bends around the corner of the building and ... on screen, like a ghost, the pale face of Faith Cold appears. She tragically tosses her eyebrows, a sad smile slides across her lips. Faith flaps its hands and disappears into the wall. The camera floats on. Old walls, gates of pavilions and blind windows behind rusty lattices, sculptures and lonely benches, remnants of props and scenery - an invoice that is quite shabby in time. Shots from films of Alexander Dovzhenko, footage from Soviet films made in Odessa. The faces of famous actors appear and dissolve in the air ... The camera continues to walk through the territory of the movie studio ... Until a dry abandoned swimming pool with solitary remains of a fishing boat in its depth emerges from the bushes, overgrown weeds ... closer, it floats over a gloomy cinematic structure. The overgrown vegetation dissolves in the air, the pool is invisibly filled with water and its horizon merges with the distant sea horizon. The first waves appear and a white sailboat slides across the open sea in the frame. And after it – the famous final scene from the Soviet film classic – Spring on Zarechnaya Street. The movie is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the country's oldest movie studio, Odesa Film Studio.
