Mistresses
Anya is a bright representative of the mature "golden youth": for her, earrings from Cartier are a small souvenir like a box of chocolates, and she prefers the latest Porsche from more serious gifts. Therefore, when Anya's dad cuts her budget to 30 thousand rubles a month, she, who is not used to saving, has only one hope – her admirer Sergei. However, instead of earrings from Cartier, he gives his women smartphones: there is a whole closet full of such gifts in his office. This is his style: a gadget with a bow – and no obligations. His accountant Tatiana has been in love with Sergei for a long time, hopelessly, but very persistently, and she is clearly not ready to give up a man to Anya. Anya has a friend Natasha, who has problems of a completely different order. Natasha is a careerist: she spends 16 hours a day at work and suffers greatly due to the complete collapse of her personal life.
