By chance, Oleg and Kostya meet Shepilov, a successful businessman. At a glance he sees Oleg is talented in talking people into doing what they do not need. Shepilov offers Oleg a job with a realty company. The trouble is that Kostya falls in love with Alina, Shepilov's former fiancée, who he still hopes to get back to love him.
Shepilov cancels Alina's performance that had to be the crucial one for her further career. However, Kostya makes a video for Alina that soon brings her a contract offer from London.
