Olga, the head of the Tikhonovo municipality, keeps a tight rein on the district and her daughter Liza, a teacher of Russian language and literature. Olga controls the girl's every step and strictly protects her from dishonest men who will turn her head and then deceive her. This is exactly what happened to Olga many years ago, which is why she is still single. When Olga easily upsets Liza's wedding with her deputy Arkadiy, Liza's friends decide that it is time to take radical measures. In order for Liza to get married, she must first... marry off her mother.
