Zinaida is a beautiful and spirited young women and Vladimir falls hopelessly in love with her. At age sixteen while living in the country, Vladimir meets twenty-one-year-old Zinaida Alexandrovna Zasyekina, the daughter of a titled but very poor family living on the adjoining property. Thus begins Ivan Turgenev’s 1860 novella, First Love. Reluctantly he agrees, but in order to do the story justice, he must first write it down, promising to read it to them at a future date. His companions, desperately lacking any passion of their own, beseech him to tell them his tale. The third, Vladimir Petrovitch, has a story that is so out of the ordinary that he is reticent to tell it.

After the plates are cleared away and the middle-aged gentlemen are enjoying cigars, they trade stories of their first loves.
