Nina grew up with her strict but caring grandfather, a professor, and enrolled at the institute where he teaches. Soon, Egor burst into her life—a pushy womanizer from a wealthy family who does not understand the word “no.” It all ended tragically for Vera. Rape, an unwanted pregnancy, giving up her newborn daughter, and years of deception. Her grandfather’s health could not withstand it either. But in time, Vera found the strength to return to a normal life and even begin a happy relationship. Yet she cannot forget her daughter, little Varenka. The girl is growing up in a foster family, while Vera continues to watch over her in secret. A new tragedy and Egor’s return once again turn their lives upside down.
