Elena and Vadim are preparing for their wedding, but the pre-ceremony commotion is not at all to the bride’s liking. Elena herself stopped believing in love long ago, agreeing to it primarily due to pressure from her mother. On her way home from work, Elena runs into Kostin. They once had a romantic relationship, and he even proposed to her—only to be rejected after a fit of jealous rage that turned violent. This chance encounter escalates into another conflict, witnessed by Igor, the father of one of Elena’s students. In a fit of fury, Kostin strikes Igor, causing a severe head injury. Fortunately, doctors act quickly and manage to save his life. Kostin hopes to escape the consequences, but Elena is determined to see justice served, no matter the cost.
