Lena Sitnikova - obeying the will of her parents and her authoritative grandma - goes to the Medical School in order to keep the family tradition. However she dreams about a totally different life. For now she doesn't know what she exactly wants, till she meets Lyova - a painter, in his artistic depression. He introduces her into the world of art, galleries and art business. Lena finds her inner self, but the chosen life doesn't suit the plans of her parents: their daughter ought to be a medical student, even if they will have to force her. Lena goes through a lot of troubles: she fights with her parents, learns how to kiss and to say «I love you», how to walk the line on high heels and to defend her right to do what she wants. And there will certainly be a «happy end»...

The story begins on New Year's Eve. The editor of the newspaper Orest Orlov offers the successful 35-year-old correspondent Ksenia to take a candid interview with the famous Canadian hockey player Denis Kravtsov. But everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance, because the journalist and the athlete had an affair 10 years ago...

New Year's musical about the love of the Zaporozhian Cossack Yevhen and the daughter of the headman of the Cossack village, Polina, who, despite various obstacles, will anyway be together. In order to settle his personal life, Yevhen, together with his friends Ostap and Batia, go to Moscow to buy "vodka with bubbles", which they have to bring to the girl's father for the New Year. Adventures await them on the way.

The plot centers on a large-scale conspiracy by a group of US military personnel, led by General James Scott, against the current President Jordan Lyman. Further events show that the President, who sent his closest aides and friends to investigate, easily and almost indifferently accepts the news of their deaths, because he is only interested in his own person.
