Plot
After the murder of Krymov, Aliku (Tatyana Drubich) is sentenced to imprisonment. In prison, a piece of the novel "Anna Karenina" falls into her hands.

Director Peter (Sergey Makovetsky) arrives in the colony to select heroines for the film adaptation of that same novel. After the auditions, Alika is trusted to play the main role. While the director is seeking funding, Aliki’s term is drawing to a close. While still in prison, she gave birth to a daughter, being sure that this is a daughter from Bananan.

The search for financing takes the director to Olga (Olesya Sudzilovskaya) - the daughter of Krymov and Agnes, the wife of Krymov, who ended up in a mental hospital after his death. With the help of friends of her deceased father, Olga became a millionaire: she lives in her own palace in Italy, owns a yacht. The head of the guard with her is a familiar character from the old film - Babakin (Alexander Bashirov). He fears attempts and therefore constantly comes up with new clan protection plans. Olga sponsors the shooting of the film, but after some time, on the advice of her manager, she decides that the theme of the film has become irrelevant and it will not be possible to recapture the money. In this regard, the producer of the film is instructed to close the project, with permission to complete only the last scene - the scene of Anna's death.

A number of episodes are dedicated to the director's search for adequate music for the film "Anna Karenina." Various performers offer musical design: singer Ada (Adelaide), the Leningrad band, a symphony orchestra with soloist - violist Artyom Aleksandrovich Bely (Yuri Bashmet). The director stops at the last option.

Alika and her daughter simultaneously fall in love with Bely, whom Peter invites to write music for his film. There is a love triangle: Bely is in love with Alika, but her daughter also has strong feelings for him.

Incidentally, in the bazaar, Alika sees a person very similar to Banana. Her own investigation reveals that this is not a Banana, but a person who received the head of the deceased Banana (the details of this medical experiment are given). Wanting to verify the paternity of Banana, Alika makes a genetic examination. It turns out that Bananan is not the father of her daughter. Having come to the conclusion that her daughter is from Krymov, Alika decides to visit Krymov’s wife Agnessa in the mental hospital. Repentance, however, did not work: Agnes apologized to Aliki did not accept and even wanted to kill her.

Shocked by recent events, Alika, on the set of the finale of the motion picture, repeats the act of Anna Karenina, rushing under the train.

Alika’s daughter, suspecting Olga’s Krymov’s daughter in the death of her mother, lends money to the musician Bely for the purpose of her murder. With this money, she hires the head of security, Olga Babakin, but he tells Olga's manager about the order and gives him the money received as a sign that he will not fulfill the order. Olga instructs to deal with all the defendants in the assassination case. Killers kill the director, break the fingers of Aliki’s daughter and mortally wound Babakin right at his wedding.
