The life of an advertiser does not look successful: the work brings income and satisfaction, the beloved woman agreed to get married. But everything collapses in one moment: Kostya's father dies, and on his hands is not only a family business – a manufacturer of women's shoes, but also helpless relatives who are used to the fact that their problems are solved by a man.

But the tragedy forces him to grow up: Kostya no longer goes with the flow, but finds the strength to stand at the helm of the company and be a support for all his women.
