Plot synopsis
Relations between spouses have cooled for a long time. Max is not ready to lose Vika and is trying to return the relationship to its former intimacy: he is even ready to have a child, but he is barren. Max shares his feelings with Pasha, Vika's former lover, and a friend of the spouses, Alice, invites Pasha to become a sperm donor for Vika. Vika agrees, but after the onset of her pregnancy, he must disappear from her life. But Pasha is not ready for this: Vika is the woman of his whole life. To reboot, the heroes decide to go to a music festival, where Alice reveals that she once tried to become happy, abandoning the burden of the past. But this refusal - the choice of two evils in favor of the lesser evil - did not give her happiness. This revelation makes the heroes wonder if they can become happy by making drastic decisions...
