Polina and Olya have been friends since childhood. Polina lives for her studies, but her quiet life ends when the girl who dreams of going to study in China fails the selection for an exchange program. It seems that life has lost its meaning, but then an opportunity arises to fix everything: you just need to spend Maslenitsa week with a student from China, immersing him in our culture and introducing him to the traditions of seeing off winter. This student turns out to be the son of a high-ranking Chinese official, the arrogant Wang Yu with a difficult character, but nothing can stop Polina from using her last chance. Nothing, except a broken leg. Olya knows that studying in China is Polina's blue dream, so she immediately decides to help her friend by replacing her during Maslenitsa week.
