Plot

Actress Yulia Martynova (Natalya Sayko) is starring in a new film, but in the middle of the film production she is suddenly hospitalized with a serious illness. The film director (Leonid Filatov) is emotionally involved; he becomes nervous and frustrated because the film cannot be completed without the leading actress. All crew members are nervous witnessing the unfolding disaster, but the actress comes back from her hospital bed to the studio to continue her work in post-production. Yulia is so devoted to being original in creative process that she cannot allow her character speaking with the voice of another actress, so she deals with her health condition by taking drugs to overcome the pain, in order to contribute her original voice to the film. The cast and crew members are helping the leading star to continue working while she is still suffering with terminal condition, so she delivers her role elegantly thus contributing to successful result. Her original voice slightly altered by her illness brings a new depth and meaning to the film after her death.
