Lors d’une mission scientifique sur Mars, le vaisseau du cosmonaute Chapaev doit atterrir d’urgence sur la planète rouge suite à une série d’incidents techniques. Il est dès lors livré à lui-même. Seul dans l’espace, il va alors rencontrer quelque chose d’inexplicable qui va changer sa vie à jamais, et devenir une légende vivante vu de la Terre.

Dima, a young realtor, suddenly discovers an appliance which can convert him into any other person in the world...

Lev Nikolaevich, Levanka, Levochka, as his many friends call him, is a successful, glamorous, Moscow photographer. He's smart, good-natured. And he is an absolutely cynical person who can be rude to people. He lives in a world where talent, success and fame are valued above all else. At the same time, he is very childish, but does not realize this. The childhood fears are still inside him.

During the day, Lera studies humankind and its needs through opinion polls, which are an educational practice at the institute; at night, she dances under the pseudonym Gerda in a club to support herself and her mother. The people she meets are as unfortunate as her family. Her father has recently left for another woman, but he constantly returns home, unable to make his choice and thereby making the life of close people intolerable. The mother painfully endures the breakup and constantly sleeps, ignoring reality. Lera doesn’t know how to carry on, where to go and what to live for, and — most importantly — how to improve life. The adult world, invariable unfortunate, which Lera observes day and night, seems hopeless.
