The simple girl Katya Nikanorova lived in the village. She dreamed of a fairy-tale "prince" whom she would find and with whom she would be happy. Because of this, she was the object of ridicule among the villagers and was considered frivolous. And therefore she had no luck with companions of life, who were clearly different from the concept of "prince". But once a veterinarian Pavel Dyozhkin, who was left by a girl, is placed in her house. Pavel is a delicate and thin-skinned man. And so it happened that two "not of this world" people found themselves and fell in love with each other.
