Andrei, the Russian astronaut, has been conducting his research in space on the MIR space station for months, but his landing is being delayed. His wife Svetlana calls him regularly from the space centre by video phone. A casual quarrel between the two (she forgot to pay the gas bill) gives Svetlana the opportunity to tell Andrei that she is seeing someone and that she is leaving him. She runs all the way to Rome after her Italian lover. A virgin black girl meets a man who wants only one thing: to take her innocence. A woman criminal psychologist, with an almost personal interest, "interrogates" a prisoner who breaks down and confesses, while the psychologist's life is shattered... An old man's ear is cut off by a hairdresser and an intimate relationship develops between the two.
