According to a poem by Taras Shevchenko.

The story of a girl who misses her black-eyed boyfriend very much. He went somewhere and did not return. After two years, the girl is very tormented. Mothers are trying to marry her, because it's not the age to act. The girl goes to the fortune teller to find out her destiny and the fate of her black-eyed woman. The fortune teller gives her a potion, through which she learns that black-shaven is out of the world and turns into a tall poplar that grows up to the sky.

The humble teacher at the Zoe Institute has a career novel. Her favorite is a young graduate student who "so needs her help writing her thesis." Zoe readily goes to meet him, not noticing the self-interest of the chosen man, and naively takes the jealous bride for her sister.

The deception will be unexpectedly quick and painfully painful. But at this very moment, Zoe is the one who really needs her ...

Shortly before her wedding, Sasha learns that she is pregnant. She is ready to share her happiness with her lover, but instead of a wedding dress and veil she has to buy a train ticket to disappear from her hometown forever. Due to an old criminal debt, Sasha is betrayed by his fiancé. He marries the investigator's daughter to avoid going to prison. But the path to a new life for Sasha turns into a new test.

On the train, the girl meets the adventurer Valeria. A new acquaintance provoked a serious accident on the railway and fled the scene, taking a large sum of money from a nearby compartment. Sasha regains consciousness in the hospital and learns that she is being blamed for what happened and is mistaken for Lera. Later, the girl is forced to live under someone else's name and is constantly waiting to be exposed, because on the one hand she is wanted by the police, on the other – by bandits.

The main characters of the story are the couple Vera and Viktor Novikov. It would seem that they have a wonderful loving family, but on the eve of the 10th wedding anniversary a number of tragedies, mysteries of the past and blackmail divide the lives of the heroes into before and after.

Vera and Victor celebrate the housewarming. Vera's sister Nina should come to them with her fiancé, Igor. But Nina is found dead on the street this evening. At the same time, Valentin, who was Nina's fiancé 4 years ago, returns to the city. Then Vera learned that he was selling drugs and testified against him. Now Valentine is full of desire to take revenge on Vera and Igor, who stole his beloved.
