The vicissitudes of the musical duo Kraunus and Pletskaya are interwoven with the decline of the island Sbornia as a result of the rapid social developments. Kraunus is a tormented man who does not speak, his son thinks this might be because he has to say something so important that words are lacking. Pletskaya is a romantic soul who despite the class distinction falls in love with the young and wayward Cocliquot.
As a fairly primitive society, the island falls prey to the boundless exploitation by the capital classes and by changing values and norms. Film about fate derives light-hearted elements from world history and popular culture. Based on the musical Tango & Tragedy, with singers from the musical as voice actors.
