Pavel, a 40‑year‑old researcher, remains single not by choice but because his indecision leaves him clueless about meeting women. His parents pressure him to settle, while his mother pushes unsuitable matches. Enter his extroverted brother Gennady, who boasts a foolproof method to win any girl’s attention, nearly rushes into marriage and forgets his vigilant wife, who keeps their long‑term marriage in check.
