Nikolai Mironov lives as he can—yes, he has a difficult character, yes, his production isn’t exactly prestigious, yes, he only has an old country house that belonged to his grandfather. But he is his very well-off father’s son, so he is quite attractive both to a social predator who loves to play with people and to those who are striving to “arrange” their daughters as best as possible. Even his neighbor is sure she knows exactly who would be right for him for life and family.
At least his parents don’t try to run his life; on the contrary, they try to shield him from especially dangerous pursuits—by bringing in the famous actor Filipp Sokolovsky. Who could have known that it was precisely because of that social “huntress” that Mironov would meet a girl who won’t be afraid of his character—what is there to fear, if her father is in no way easier, if not of the lack of special comfort in the old house, and if not of the fact that she’s now standing firmly on her feet in business. The main thing is that the “big bear” Mironov himself makes the right choice.
