Plot
Yana Titova (Olesya Sudzilovskaya) is a successful Moscow businesswoman who runs a fashion magazine. Her life revolves around work and casual relationships, including an affair with a married man, which suits her perfectly.
Unexpectedly, Yana’s estranged father dies. She learns that he had adopted a young Roma orphan named Yanko (Danil Zinatullin). When the media discover this, Yana is forced to take care of the boy to protect her business reputation and to help secure a "Woman of the Year" award.

Reception
Aisylu Kadyrova of Evening Kazan described the film as a warm-hearted movie that “can be safely watched with a loved one, with a grandmother, or with children.”[5]
Film.ru critic Boris Ivanov felt that the film was less successful than Hollywood films on similar themes and lacked emotional depth. He noted that its main strengths were its “proper moral about the value of family” and Danil Zinatullin’s charming performance as Yanko.[6]
