Лишь одна ниточка — смутный образ человека по имени Сережа — постоянно всплывает в сознании Маши. Она ищет Сережу во всех, кто окружает ее. Она ищет ответы в других и убегает от себя. Она смотрит на Наримана и его братьев. Видит их красоту, нежность, сомнение и боль. Сережа зовет Машу, он улыбается ей. Вернуться к нему страшно. Но она делает шаг к нему. А значит — к себе. И кто он — ее Сережа? Почему он рядом с ней?
