A simple modest girl Lida lives with her mother in the village and dreams of becoming a flight attendant. She saw her father only once – five years ago. He bought his daughter silver earrings (dad’s present) and invited her to come to visit him after she graduates from school.
When Lida’s mother gets married, the girl realizes that she is superfluous in this new family and full of vague hopes goes to the capital. Lida comes to her father’s place. He is a well-known promising scientist and his refined wife and capricious spoiled daughters are not happy to live with the ‘villager’ and intend to get rid of her in any way.
