Our time. A provincial town. Here, like everywhere else, there are intrigues, heroes, and villains. And people, of course, live not only with work and household chores. People live with experiences, disappointments, and unexpected encounters. Once upon a time, three friends—Pestrov, Suvorov, and Chagin—studied at the same institute, walked together, and made love together. Time passed, and their youthful passions grew into something more. The three friends became rivals in love. Rivals in life. Their destinies are connected by a single labyrinth, through which they all wander, against the walls and corners of which they are thrown by love, hate, and friendship.
