A musical melodrama and semi‐biographical portrait of Alla Pugacheva, here named Anna Streltsova, who repeatedly contemplates leaving the stage until she discovers her true style and songs. Along the way she endures a difficult marriage and divorce, embraces motherhood, and ultimately experiences a profound, life-changing love.

The movie consists of three short stories that share a common satirical theme: alcoholism and drunkenness. The stories are "Such an imprudence!," "According to the laws of hospitality," "100 grams for bravery".

Two foolish and frivolous guys cause suffering for the whole youth union at the factory. It was already decided to dismiss Anatoly Grachkin and his friend Victor Gromoboev but they are taken under the wing by Nadia Berestova, a diminutive funny woman, known as the popular one at the plant.
At first, Nadia took it with reluctance and apprehension, but gradually this commission became the most important thing in her life.
