USSR, late 80's. Kozhemyakin, the former deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, comes to Yalta for a vacation. Irina, who works as a van driver, is asked to meet him at the station. Accidental resort acquaintance unexpectedly grew into something more. Neither the difference in age, nor in social status did not become an obstacle. Irina agrees to become Kozhemyakin's wife and moves to Moscow.

A provincial Russian city in the era of the Khrushchev thaw. Against the background of historical changes, the fates of the heroes unfold, and among them the young Violetta. Before becoming an actress, the heroine goes through a difficult path of trials and temptations.
