Plot

Romania, 1930s. In a provincial town where everyone knows each other, an extraordinary event is taking place. At the railway station late in the evening, the diesel-electric train "Bucharest-Sinai" comes to an end, which usually always passes here without stopping. The express train is stopped by the conductor of the train to throw out a stowaway passenger named Mona, who travels to Bucharest. She is clad in a luxurious dress and hat, and does not have anything in her pockets, except chips for playing in the casino. By the will of fate at the same time at the station she meets the cosmography teacher of the local gymnasium Marin Miroiu.
Miroiu offers the stranger a lodging for the night at his bachelor's home, while he himself plans to spend the night with his friend, music teacher Udri. She agrees. However, having remained alone with him, Mona is looking for an excuse not to let Marin go. Mona learns the secret of Marin - he talks about a star which he discovered, which is not in any astronomical catalog. They are happy together this night...
In the morning Mona again disrupts the inner world of Marin Miroiu by telling him her decision to stay with him forever.
Meanwhile, Mona is sought by her lover Grig who finds her at the forlorn teacher's house. Granting Grig for her brother, Mona expresses a desire to stay in this town. With arguments and cynical assertions, Grig convinces Mona that she has no place in the province, after which they leave this town forever.
And so Marin remains alone with the truth, which he comprehends in his astronomical observations: "No star deviates from its path."
