Director Pavlo Tupіk

In the measured life of cardiologist Anton Kalinin, a girl named Alice rushes in. She says she works as a stripper at the club and begs to save her from harassment by bandits sent by one of the clients. He accuses Alice of stealing huge amounts of money that she did not take. Alice is convinced that she will be killed, so Anton decides to help her — taking her from the capital to the small provincial town where he grew up and where his parents live. But in the first minutes spent together, Anton regrets his decision. Bragging Alice does not recognize the rules, especially if they limit the freedom of the individual. She does not care for public opinion, she is sharp and tongue-in-cheek. Anton and Alice quarrel all the time. Alice is amazed at how easily Anton hangs up the labels, believing that striptease is a stigma, and a stripper cannot be a decent girl a priori.

To annoy Anton, Alice calls himself her bride, shocking her relatives with her appearance and behavior. However, over time, their attitude towards her becomes different. They see that Alice is a sincere, open-minded girl who can empathize. It completely changes the life of the Kalinin family, helps Anton's sisters to become internally free, to show their talents, to understand intricate relationships with men. After many years of quarreling, she reconciles with her father and brings the family together.

The only person Alice can't find a common language with is Anton. He does not believe her, and his suspicions are eventually justified — Anton finds a bag with money stolen from the client. It turns out that Alice is not who she pretends to be. It tells the truth that strikes Anton. Meanwhile, the real hunt for Alice begins, and the whole Kalinin family comes to her defense …
