Silver Lily Of The Valley

Silver Lily Of The Valley (Russian: Ландыш серебристый) - Feature film by Tigran Keosayan, shot in 2000 in Russia.

Plot
Zoya Misochkina, daughter of the provincial police sergeant Yevgeny Misochkina, dreams of becoming a singer. She desperately wants to go to Moscow to take singing lessons so that she can be taken by a singer to a restaurant, but her father takes her off the train every time and returns her to her native Lokotki.

After another unsuccessful attempt to leave for Moscow, fate, right at the local bullpen, brings her together with two Moscow producers, Leva Bolotov and Stas Pridorozhny, who just broke up with their ward, star Irma, and were detained for disorderly conduct as a result of a trick caused by Leva's binge.

Zoya helps producers get out of the bullpen and ties in with them to Moscow. At first, the girl is desperately annoying men, especially Leo, who is annoyed by everything in Zoe, and especially the smell of her perfume - "Silver lily of the valley." But due to a certain combination of circumstances, Stas and Lyova, having heard how Zoya is singing, decide to start her promotion. In parallel with this, Zoya falls in love with Leo, but his feelings for his former ward and, as it turns out, former wife Irma have not yet died out. After a hard break (Irma cheated on him with his best friend and comrade-in-arms Stas) with his beloved Lyova, he started up only light, non-binding affair. Zoya is determined, and Leva is afraid of a relationship with her, so as not to repeat fate. Nevertheless, something is tied up with them.

Suddenly, the son of Irma and Stas, a student named Ludwig (the name was invented by Leva, who sarcastically joked while catching a “beloved friend with his beloved wife”), who was suddenly arrived from England, is ready to marry Zoe, but she does not take him seriously. At some point, Zoya sees Leva in the arms of a young beauty and, from insult, breaks into Lokotki, taking Ludwig with her. Everyone is unhappy: Zoe mourns her love in the cab of a truck on the way to her hometown; Irma cries in her expensive car because nobody loves her; Lyova nervously smokes and no longer pays attention to the cries of her long-legged passion; Stas feels guilty before Leva and Irma.

The film ends with Zoya essentially achieving what she wanted: she is a singer in a seedy restaurant in Lokotki. But is she happy? Singing another song, she suddenly sees a tired Stas at the table, and behind the scenes smiling at Leo...
