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.
