PLOT
The modest and shy Zhenya is plagued by a string of misfortunes: the man she had lived with for quite some time has left her, she has lost her job, and her father offers no help because he lives with his new wife and makes decisions only with her approval. To make matters worse, her landlady keeps demanding rent when Zhenya barely has enough to survive. Her friend Masha comes to the rescue, helping Zhenya regain confidence and encouraging her to take action. While discussing possible ways out of her situation, Zhenya remembers that her grandmother possessed ancient mystical knowledge and had once shared many secrets of magic with her. The friends decide that Zhenya should inherit her grandmother’s gift — and perhaps even make a living from it.
