About
40-year-old Vika and Max, after 15 years of marriage, seem to have become one. In their ideal apartment with a designer renovation, only one thing is missing — a child. Everything changes on one fateful evening, when a friend Pasha, who returned from several years of living in Moscow, comes to visit the couple with a new friend Alice. After several glasses of wine, Max confesses to a friend that the couple wants to have a child, but he himself cannot have children, whereas Vika is completely healthy. Having learned the secret of new acquaintances, Alice, without thinking twice, offers Pasha to become a sperm donor and help out friends. This awkward offer should change their lives forever.
