Plot
Tanya Zaitseva from Leningrad, a nurse by day and a prostitute catering to foreigners by night, suddenly receives a marriage proposal from a Swedish client. Her closest friends in the trade, former volleyball athlete Sima Gulliver nicknamed Kisulya, a Baltic beauty, and the gorgeous Zina Meleiko, are considered the elite of prostitutes. After another altercation with the police, she goes home to share good news with her mother, who thinks that her daughter is just a nurse. Tanya does not hide the fact that she is not marrying for love, but because she wants to have an apartment, a car, money and dreams "to see the world with my own eyes." In a conversation with her mother she argues that prostitution is characteristic of all trades, "everyone sell themselves", but her mother cannot accept it.
