Certain circumstances force the successful businessman Viktor to stay in a small seaside city longer than he had planned. It’s the New Year’s Eve. To “kill the evening”, the hero gets acquainted with a young salesgirl, Lyuba. Quite unexpectedly, they fall passionately and fatally in love… A lyrical variation on the theme of a gallant prince and a poor Cinderella, starring the inveterate lady-killer of Russian screen Sergey Zhigunov (“The Princess on a Bean”) and the young primadonna of the Aleksandrinsky Theatre Yuliya Marchenko (“Swan Paradise”), with the musical accompaniment of the famous Gypsy group “Loiko”.
