Love on Trial

Pavel, a 35-year-old widower, is raising two children alone: ​​Lucy, eight years old, and Petya, four years old. Pavel keeps an apiary in the village, and constant employment does not allow him to pay enough attention to his children. When inspectors from the children's service are about to take Petya and Lucy to a boarding school, Pavel makes a radical decision. He places an ad in the newspaper saying he needs a wife who can look after his children. A woman the same age as Pavel, the librarian Natalya, a lonely woman with a huge reserve of unspent tenderness, responds to the ad. Pavel accepts Natalya into the family for a trial period.

And Pavel’s friend, the village paramedic Zoya, is hatching plans to get the enviable village guy in trouble. Pavel is no longer happy with his idea, but it’s too late to retreat...
