Contrary to reason

Successful landscape designer Marina is going to get married. For the coming Saturday an acquaintance of her high-ranking father with her fiancé Alexander is planned. Just a day before a significant Saturday, Alexander breaks up with Marina.

In the heat of a quarrel, Marina runs out of the apartment, trying to stop Alexander, and the door slams behind her. An accidental acquaintance, Bogdan Prokofiev, helps Marina to open it. The man turns out to be a former officer who recently came out of prison and has nowhere to live and with no means of support. Bogdan is modestly silent about the crime he was imprisoned for. Marina offers Bogdan to play the role of her groom at the meeting with her father…
