Plot synopsis
A musical comedy about friendship and love of Glasha Novikova, a well-known pig-tender, and Musaib Gatuev, a brave Daghestan shepherd. They met in Moscow at the All-Union Agricultural exhibition, fell in love with each other and agreed to meet in a year. If it were not for hot love of Musaib this meeting might fail to happen because of intrigues of a «good onion» who is in love with Glasha.
