A light drama, this unpretentious story unveils the past and present of a modern dance instructor living in Moscow. Back in the 1950s in Gagra, unknown to his current pupils, the teacher was a celebrated tap dancer who once performed on stage with his five-year old daughter. The laurels of his past were left behind when he came to Moscow to work. But when a television show airs footage of the coach in his heyday, his students and colleagues decide to do something to honor his past (and present) accomplishments.
