Artyom and Lera meet at a seaside resort and have a summer fling. He is a simple guy from the province, a hard worker and a poet; she is a Moscow bohemian girl from a rich family whose parents make all important decisions for her.

The summer goes by quickly and they each go back to their own lives. Lera goes back to Moscow to study and build a career for herself. Later, Artyom follows Lera to the capital, but she is not too happy to see him. Lera gets engaged to her father's friend and business partner, Gurevich. An older rich woman, Natalia, becomes interested in Artyom. At first he rejects her, but later he changes his mind and marries her. Later the romantic affair between Lera and Artyom is resumed and culminates in a series of brutal murders.[5]
