We Met Strangely
Nadezhda Reshetova lives in a small provincial town - a young, charming woman, and also the head of the construction department at the local mayor's office. Everyone loves her, and some (like the drunkard neighbor, for example) are even afraid of her. But Nadya has not yet met her fate. She lives with her beloved grandmother and loves to fish: every weekend she goes overnight to the river in her Zhiguli. And then on one of these weekends, Nadya meets the “prince on a white horse.” This is Victor, a businessman from Moscow, a horse riding enthusiast. The acquaintance began romantically and continued like in a fairy tale. Soon the wedding was scheduled.
