The Russian melodramatic Series "When You Least Expect It" tells the story of dramatic changes in the life of a woman who had every reason to be proud of her life, but whose familiar world collapsed overnight. Sonya married successfully—Alexey turned out to be a loving, hardworking, and caring husband who surrounded her with warmth and comfort. Only one problem disturbed the young couple’s happiness—the absence of children. All of Sonya and Alexey’s attempts to conceive a child invariably ended in failure, and as a result, the spouses decide to try in vitro fertilization. Sonya’s pleasant preparations are suddenly interrupted by the shocking news that Alexey has an illegitimate daughter from a long-ago affair. The man himself did not even know that he was a father, but when he finds out, he adopts the girl after her mother’s death. No sooner does the teenage daughter appear in their apartment than Alexey presents Sonya with another shock: he no longer wants to try to have children with Sonya, preferring to devote himself to raising his daughter. Stunned, Sonya cannot forgive her husband for such an act and decides to leave in order to try to start over.
