Plot
[edit]Inseparable friends Grisha, Lyosha, and the charming Shura work tirelessly at a factory while attending university in the evenings. Both young men are in love with Shura and decide to confess their feelings to her. Shura chooses Grisha for his confidence and good looks. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she learns of her twin sister's death. The sister, recently divorced, left behind a young son, Felix, and entrusted Shura to raise him. Shura brings the boy home and, on the advice of a medical professor, pretends that Felix is her own child. Her friends and colleagues are intrigued, with her friend Motya speculating that Felix might be Grisha’s son. Grisha grows frustrated and demands Shura reveal the truth to clear his name, leading to a quarrel between them. In contrast, Lyosha enjoys caring for the child and even confronts Grisha for upsetting Shura.
Shura receives a telegram from her late sister’s ex-husband, also named Alexey, demanding custody of Felix. She meets him at the train station, but Lyosha, having read the telegram, secretly follows her, with Grisha trailing behind. After speaking with Shura, Alexey decides to relinquish his claim on the boy. However, Grisha mistakenly assumes that Lyosha is the father of Felix due to his presence. As gossip spreads, Grisha declares to everyone that Lyosha is the child’s father. Kind-hearted and deeply in love with Shura, Lyosha does not deny the rumor. He follows her to a retreat and proposes marriage. Although Grisha also arrives and attempts to reconcile with Shura, this time she chooses Lyosha.
