Friends Katerina and Lyudmila from the provinces move to Moscow and temporarily settle in the apartment of relatives, diplomats. According to the scenario, this apartment is located in a high-rise building on Kudrinskaya Square (former Vosstaniya Square) and this is where the fate of two friends is decided. In fact, the shooting took place elsewhere - in a house on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment. Thus, there are as many as two places in Moscow that you can visit and remember the heroines of this cult film, which won an Oscar at one time.
