Vika is 20 and she lives in a small provincial town. Like all the girls do, Vika believes in love and hopes to find it someday. She films her every step on camera - sort of a diary - and from the records we find out that the girl has been in relationship with Artyom for quite a long time. However, this fact doesn’t hold her from going on a date with Zhenya. For a period of time Vika will be dating both, until she’s ready to choose the one.
