Klim, a bright tall brunette, wins international swimming competitions and, as a prize, gets the chance to rest for the whole summer on the Adriatic Sea. The 27-year-old athlete lives in Yekaterinburg and has the rank of “Master of Sports.” In his hometown, his affairs are going quite well, but the guy wants to land a more prestigious position. At the resort where he relaxes, there will be an annual party bringing together people from the sports world—an excellent opportunity to find a new job. But Klim doesn’t have an invitation. He meets guys who do have one. Two girls from the group sympathize with him, but the athlete doesn’t want a relationship with them and pretends to be gay. During another gathering, the girls propose a bet to Klim: he has to seduce the impenetrable lifeguard from the beach near the hotel “Oberg” (where the party is planned). If he does it—he gets invited. It’s just a kiss. Klim, being drunk, agrees. But the enterprising guy couldn’t have predicted one thing—that the modest lifeguard named Henry will turn out to be the only heir to the owner of the “Oberg” hotel chain, and his opinion of Henry’s shyness will be very wrong.
