Yegor Savvitch, an artist, is sitting in his room feeling depressed. His landlady's daughter, Katya, is visiting him and wants to discuss their future together.

Yegor eventually agrees to pay his debts and gives Katya a glass of vodka. He begins to dream of becoming great and imagines a future filled with success and adoration.
