A story like this happens to every man once in a lifetime. Quite by chance, in the wrong time and the wrong place there comes 'the most beautiful girl in Moscow and its environs'. She walks right into his pre-planned and stable life. She is strange and embarrassing, she is inconceivable, and she does not look like anyone he has known before. She is the girl who robs you of your peace of mind, cuts the ground from under you, she brings doubt and makes you finally realise that you had never really loved anyone.

This is a romantic and simple love story. They can not make them like this anymore, so this film seems a breath of fresh air, a mouthful of cool water that tastes strong and reminds you of your childhood when you were young, trusting and pure. When you were not ashamed of your tears.
