Plot
When Variusha, a maid in a Russian upper-class household, is not allowed to go and see her children in the country, the porter's granddaughter Nastya agrees to replace her. Soon she attracts the attention of Pavel, the son of the house, who starts flirting with her. When Nastya finds out that Yelena, Pavel's fiancée, has a lover, she tries to chase him away and refuses the money offered to her to remain silent. But Pavel does not want to endanger the wedding arranged for him. He has lost interest in Nastya and treats her only as a maid.[1]
