A large-scale view on the events of 1917 in Russia, when the monarchy was overthrown.

It is late at night and a married couple has just returned home from a party, where they met a former school friend of the wife and a famous singer. The husband has been charmed by the seductive and elegant woman, and this makes him treat his wife, who has gone straight back to being a housewife, condescendingly.

The wife has started packing her bags when the telephone rings - it is the singer, inviting them out. The woman suggests they all go together, with her husband and school friend, to a night-club, so they can continue their lovely evening, making it clear that she is willing to change partners.
