A group of work colleagues miss their flight by accident and avoid a plane crash, which prompts each of them to consider the paths their lives have taken and their unrealised dreams.

Ilyusha invites Kitty for a coffee, and she agrees. On a high, he signs the forged documents that Ira brings him. That evening, Ilyusha and Kitty dance, kiss, take a walk, and then have sex in the lobby of Kitty's apartment block, in full view of her neighbour.
