Annotation:
About a Russian woman, who by fate - a fatal disease - is put in a situation of moral choice: to cling to life or to find faith and purify herself before death. Her choice inspires Nadezhda - that is the name of the heroine of the film. The film is about the fate of an ordinary Russian woman, about amazing insights, inexplicable phenomena, the opening of consciousness and the ability to accept one's fate.
