Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Three days before his wedding a strange woman mysteriously follows Evgeni everywhere and sticks to him. All attempts to separate the young people are unsuccessful. But is it therefore really worth cancelling the long-awaited wed- ding? The groom and the bride try hard to pretend that nothing special has hap- pened to them. However, ignoring outright that girl sticking to Evgeni becomes more and more difficult with every day.
