Plot

A handsome but poor former sportsman Igor Bragin and a plain but brainy librarian Vera Silkova make an unusual agreement: to fall in love with each other through will alone. In the background is late Soviet reality with a few of its unattractive features – ambition ridden careerists, black market, drunkenness, growing skepticism and disillusionment with ideals. The scene when the protagonist, a sportsman, applies a wrestling hold to a middle-aged person in the presence of the latter's little son was disliked by some spectators.
