In a small Russian town lived a young woman whose life, by the age of twenty, had already been marked by many hardships. She grew up without her mother, and later lost her father as well. Forced to live with a cruel stepmother and stepsister, Nadya nevertheless cherished the memory of her father and longed to fulfill their shared dream. One day, a wealthy businessman arrives at the hotel where Nadya works as a maid. But would a rich and successful young man ever notice a modest maid? A little miracle — or a few unlikely coincidences — might just make it possible. Yet even more magical twists of fate will be needed for Nadya to attend the ball… or rather, the mayor’s reception.
