The young man goes to military service. Mary is waiting for him.
But Volodya turns out to be a windy, irresponsible person. After the army, he returns with his young wife. A huge scandal flares up, after which Masha tries to commit suicide. From this step her grandmother keeps her - a strict, decisive woman.
Mary makes an offer Alexei - a widower living in the neighborhood. The girl agrees to marry only in order to annoy her former groom. And also because I’m tired of the pity that the villagers feel for her. Grandmother’s words “You will live with the dear - you will not see the light of white” do not stop Mary from taking this reckless step.
Alex is not a romantic. Offering Mary's hand and heart, he makes strange arguments. Namely: he talks about his savings on a savings book and plans for the purchase of "Lada". Masha dislikes this approach. However, she had already made a decision. The wedding of Mary and Alexei does not take place as it should in Russian villages. That is, without alcohol, dancing and street parties.
The morning after the wedding night, Maria realizes that she made a mistake. Life becomes unbearable for her. The only thing that keeps Maria in her husband’s house is the affection of Lucy, the adopted daughter. While the young wife languishes in the house of her unloved husband, Tamara, a saleswoman from a local store and former lover of Alexei, suffers from unrequited love for him.
Time passes. Maria decides to go to study in the city. But Alex, of course, does not support his wife in these plans. And soon sends her to the city to work. There Maria meets her ex-fiancé and after a short conversation realizes that she has no more feelings for him. After this meeting, Maria enters a technical school and leaves her husband. And only a few months later she realizes that Alexey really loves her, and with him she is like behind a stone wall.
