A 13-year old Lionia begs his parents to buy him a computer for his birthday. Unfortunately, after some recent financial difficulties, Ivan and Irina inform him that he will have to wait until next year. Imagine their surprise when Lionia returns from school one day with a brand new laptop. He tells them it was given to him by a strange lady, who, it turns out, is his real mother. Zoia had abandoned her son when he was only 10 months old and ran off with an elderly millionaire. Now a rich widow, she returned from America to claim her child and her ex-husband.
