Plot

A German named Helmut (Philippe Reinhardt), having fallen in love with a Russian girl named Alena (Svetlana Smirnova-Martsinkevich), whom he met in Berlin, arrives in Russia on the 9th of May to ask for her hand in marriage. Having welcomed the groom, Alena goes to the village to introduce him to her relatives. But at this time Tolya (Sergei Svetlakov) - her ex-husband, is visiting the village, who suddenly decided to get his wife back.
