A young and elegant man returns from abroad to his hometown. "This son of Chorbaji, written off from the memory of the people of Tarnovo, was rumored to have spent bags of gold in Parisian cafes and nothing should be expected of him." Emilian Stanev sounds extremely modern again, not to say that his gift is prophetic. After "The Peach Thief" and "The Antichrist", he once again presents us with a painfully topical problem - the "foreigner" in his own country. Having "rubbed against the chandelier" of the West, the hero of Emilian Stanev can hardly tolerate "Oriental laziness and sloppiness". With this, he seems to justify his selfishness and arrogance. "Civilized" France has created for him certain habits in love that he does not want to break. Slowly but surely, he turns the woman who loves him and is ready to be his servant at home, helper at work, mistress in bed, mother of his children - into a prostitute, an employee of the brothel "The Two Pigeons". As if to protect himself from her unreserved love, he flirts with the rich man's daughter and his patient. Thus, two morals, two worlds collide. Ideas about love in the civilized world and simple folk ethics speaking with the language of nature collide. The nature that is above us all.
