Poor Girl
For a successful metropolitan TV presenter, Victoria Medvedeva, other people's feelings are an empty sound. She is not subject to reflection and easily manipulates people and destinies. Unexpectedly, her behavior leads to tragic consequences and Vicky's career and reputation are under threat. On the advice of her boss Krupsky, Vika decides to temporarily leave Moscow, sit out the conflict – and goes to her hometown of Yalta, at the invitation of her first love, Roman Kuznetsov. But instead of the expected warm welcome and an affair with an ex-boyfriend, Vika is waiting for a series of strange adventures that can lead to the collapse of all her plans and undertakings, and turn her whole life around.
