Both have successful careers: Sasha (played by Konstantin Khabensky) hosts a popular evening TV show, and Zlata (Viktoriya Isakova) is a well-regarded psychologist who conducts motivational workshops.
A passerby, a free-spirited local named Veronika (Yuliya Peresild), rescues him and takes him home, igniting a spark between them.
Though Sasha doesn’t act on his attraction, he returns to Moscow preoccupied with Veronika, complicating his life with Zlata, who suspects something is amiss.
Finding nothing exceptional about her rival, Zlata ultimately buys Veronika a new apartment to end any connection between her and Sasha.
In the film’s open-ended conclusion, Sasha is seen near water, contemplating his next move, hinting at a possible new beginning but leaving his choice unresolved.
