Feodor, a famous art patron and collector,meets Iliana at the opening of a gallery exhibition. Charmed by Iliana's ethereal beauty, sophistication, and intellect, a casual tet-a-tet in front of the painting "A Polyanitsa's Smile", becomes the sudden parallel to their newly merged fate. Years later, after married life has taken its toll, Iliana confesses to Feodor about peculiar events, that led to their former husband's death, one that she herself observed. This out of the blue confession, in addition to a sudden shift in her personality and increasingly odd behavior, puts Feodor on edge. With their relationship having already become distant and Feodor's interest in the marriage having waned, Iliana's confession gives him reason to suspect that she might know about his numerous love affairs. Does she know? What is she after? What will she do? Feodor's curious nature is more so torturous than alarming as to Ilana's plans. Iliana invites their mutual friends, Igor and Margarita, over for a casual dinner at home. During dinner we discover that Margarita is just one of a myriad number of Feodor's lovers. What will happen at dinner? Who's set up surveillance cameras in Feodor's home to watch as the situation unfolds? Polyanitsa in Russian mythology is a female warrior whose skills can be compared to a bogatyr, a Slavic figure akin to knight errant.
