Plot
The story of the film takes place in Moscow in the 1970s. The main character Vera Ivanova, like her friends, came to Moscow from the outback. They live in a dormitory and work at a Ball Bearing Plant.

Suddenly, Vera meets the man of her dreams - Vadim, the general’s son. Vadim's parents, Nikolai Efremovich and Anna Bronislavovna, are opposed to their son marrying Vera, the “limit”, an orphan from the orphanage; they have long been predicting to Vadim the career of a diplomat and dreaming that Katya, the daughter of their acquaintances, would become their daughter-in-law. Despite the objections of his parents, Vadim marries Vera, but soon after the wedding he leaves for an internship in Paris, leaving the girl in Moscow. At this time, the father of Katya (the former girlfriend of Vadim, whom he fell out of love) is dreaming of a beautiful future for his daughter, and is doing everything to reunite Vadim and Katya again. He has an insidious plan, in which he embeds the driver Sergey working for him. The young man agrees to provide services to Viktor Sergeyevich, and at his request substitutes Vera, lying about the fact that they spent the night together. The mother-in-law is confident in the betrayal of the daughter-in-law.

After Vadim’s departure, Nikolai Efremovich dies from a heart attack. Anna Bronislavovna accuses her sister-in-law Vera of all troubles, who soon finds out that she is pregnant, but a desperate mother-in-law, to destroy her son’s marriage, drives the pregnant girl out of the house. When Vadim returns home, Anna Bronislavovna tells him that Vera has walked up the child from the driver Sergey. At first, Vadim does not believe the words of his mother and tries to find the missing wife, but instead stumbles on Sergey, who once worked as a driver with their family, and asks him what happened while he was away. Sergei tells Vadim that he slept with his wife, to which Vadim, aggressively reacting, decides to end his marriage once and for all, and finally “breaks” all relations with Vera, accusing her of treason.

Faith is in a difficult situation - she is alone in a foreign hostile city. On the advice of a friend of Inna, Vera gets a job as a janitor. Faith, not losing hope, is waiting for her beloved. She is sure that he will definitely come for her and take her back. Once on the street, Vera meets Vadim and begs him in tears to listen to her, but he does not believe her words and leaves her alone and pregnant in the street. A girl, thrown on the same New Year's Eve, has a daughter, Rita. At this time, Katya marries Vadim, from whom he expects a child. Later, Anna Bronislavovna realizes that Vera actually did not change Vadim, that this was Katya’s father’s plan. The mother-in-law feels guilty, but can no longer do anything.

Faith directly “disappears” without Vadim, begins to drink. In the life of a girl, Peter appears, who provides gifts to her and Rita. It would seem that life is getting better, and Vera is happy, like her daughter. But it turns out that Peter is a thief who, under the pretext of making Vera engage in speculation, after which the girl ends up in prison. She can save her little daughter Rita from the orphanage, only giving to the education of Anna Bronislavovna.

Anna Bronislavovna brings up Rita, despite the fact that Vadim and Katya, who gave birth to a daughter Kristina, do not approve of this. Vadim still thinks that Vera has walked up the child, and only after many years she learns the truth, but nothing can be changed.
