Synopsis
Dans le quartier athénien d'Akadimia Platonos, Stavros possède une petite boutique où il vend tabac, chips, confiseries, etc. Il passe son temps à discuter avec les deux autres patrons de boutiques similaires de la rue, en comptant les Chinois qui ouvrent des boutiques dans la rue. Leur compte est sans fin car de nouvelles boutiques ouvrent toujours. Ils ne s'arrêtent de compter que lorsqu'un Albanais passe dans la rue. Là, ils ouvrent les paris : le chien va-t-il ou non aboyer sur l'Albanais. Ils passent ainsi leur temps. Stavros doit aussi s'occuper de sa mère qui a fait une attaque (et qui depuis ne parle plus qu'albanais), donc elle est constamment avec lui. De plus, la femme de Stavros l'a quitté.Comments

The film is set in Moscow in 1958 and 1979. The plot centers on three young women who come to Moscow from smaller towns: Katerina, Lyudmila, and Antonina. They are placed together in a workers' dormitory apartment and eventually become friends. Antonina is seeing Nikolai, a reserved but kind young man whose parents have a dacha in the country. Katerina (Vera Alentova) is a serious, upstanding woman who strives to earn her chemistry degree while working at a factory. She is asked to house-sit an apartment for her well-to-do Moscow relatives (a famous professor's family) while they are away on a trip. Lyudmila (Irina Muravyova), a flirty go-getter looking for a well-to-do husband while working at a bakery, convinces her to throw a dinner party at the apartment, and pretend that they are the daughters of Katerina's professor uncle, as a ploy to meet successful Muscovite men. At the party, Lyudmila meets Sergei, a famous hockey player, who falls in love with her and marries her even after discovering the truth about her origin. Katerina meets Rudolf (Yuri Vasilyev), a smooth talker who works as a cameraman for a television channel. He charms Katerina and then forces himself onto her. During Antonina and Nikolai's wedding, Lyudmila and Antonina find out that Katerina is pregnant. Upon discovering that Katerina is not the daughter of a professor, Rudolf refuses to marry her and believes that she is going to abort the fetus. Rudolf's mother stops by Katerina and Lyudmila's room in workers' dormitory to tell Katerina to stop bothering her son and offers her money, which Katerina refuses. Katerina finds out that it was actually Lyudmila who was calling Rudolf's mother pretending she was Katerina to demand child support. This leaves Katerina alone with the baby.
