Anya is a young dreamer from a provincial town, whose life resembles a fragile watercolor: delicate shades of hope, bright strokes of love, and warm tones of family comfort. She is preparing to enter university and dreams of marrying Pavel—a man in whom she sees her destiny. But in an instant, her perfect world crumbles to dust: betrayal, shattered plans, an unexpected pregnancy, and a forced marriage to a man she does not love. Under pressure from her mother, Anya agrees to marry Vasily and moves to Moscow. However, the capital welcomes her not with the glitter of lights, but with a series of trials: her husband ends up behind bars, and her little daughter loses her hearing. To save her child, Anya takes a desperate step—she becomes a surrogate mother for the child of Pavel and Marina, the very woman who destroyed her happiness.
