Synopsis: Pasha has never experienced love, but he has a nightclub inherited from his parents. The club is in debt. Pasha is overwhelmed and struggling, but he can’t sell it — it’s all that remains from his parents. He also has a friend, Lesya, who patiently waits for his feelings to finally thaw. And that moment comes when Lesya introduces Pasha to her friend Alisa. Alisa isn’t responsible for those she tames. She will be the first to “break into” Pasha’s feelings, turning his life into complete chaos.
