action

“The worst thing is this long farewell”, thinks the playwright Grigory Fyodorovich Rebrow, called Grischa, when he left his partner Lyalja - actually Ludmila Petrovna Telepnjowa - in Moscow and after a five-day long train journey east, the starting point for a taiga expedition lasting several months reached. On the way, a detour to Petrovsk-Sabaikalski should be made. Interesting - there in the ironworks Ivan Pryshow, the hero of his play, died in exile. The abandoned actress Ljalja - born in 1927 - is not doing well at all. The single, childless woman has just had her third abortion .

Up to his 6th grade Grischa had had a sheltered childhood. When his father, an economist, was suspended from duty, the family had to leave their home. The father died of pneumonia in early 1942. Grischa and Ljalja have known each other since 7th grade and had stayed together ever since. The marriage in the winter of 1947 had come to nothing.

Lyaliah was engaged at the Saratov Theater five years later . Grisha had stayed at home in Moscow. In Saratov, the acting, powerful theater director German Vladimirovich Smurny had an eye on the actress. Lyalia had blown him off and since then has only got poor roles. Lyalia allows the little-known playwright Nikolai Demjanowitsch Smolyanow, a Saratov, to approach. In return, Smolyanov asserts one of the leading roles in Smurny for Lyalia in his third play. Lyalia rose to become a Saratov star. We have to celebrate this. Grischa arrives, is introduced by Lyalya to the playwright Smolyanov and soon smells a fuse. He promises Lyalia the liaison with Smolyanov on the head. The partner denies this. The hapless scribe Grischa presents the Saratov theater people with his latest play, which nobody wants to accept. Smolyanov still wants to help Grisha out of his psychological depression; offers him the post of chief dramaturge under Smurny. Grisha refuses and goes back to Moscow.

When Smolyanov's star drops, Lyalia leaves him and returns to Grisha. The latter cannot get over the suspected infidelity of the partner and runs away.
