Maksim is has a degree in architecture and prepares to move to Germany for a new job. The two young people accidentally bump into each other in a crowd. Masha drops her cell phone and Maksim happens to pick it up. He wants to return it, but each time they try to meet, something happens to waylay their plans. Ironically, the two of them keep ending up in the same places, but not knowing whatthe other looks like, they keep unwittingly passing by each other.
