The old Shchekoldino estate, located in the shade of centuries-old trees, is the past and present of the romantic beauty Alyona. Within the walls of Shchekoldino she experienced the best moments of her childhood. Here she grew up and began teaching dance. On weekdays, the parquet floor of the ancient hall is occupied by children, and on weekends by elderly couples. But the appearance of Moscow businessman Doronin overnight destroys all her hopes. A dry and cynical entrepreneur buys this land and plans to demolish the estate to create a dairy farm in its place. Alena has only a few days to convince the "monster" to abandon his plans. And at the same time try not to fall in love.
