Plot
Katya Korolyova from Moscow, a student of the Faculty of Philology, who won a grant to study the archives of the Russian poet Vladislav Khodasevich in Paris, secretly from her mother, instead of a study trip, goes to Abu Dhabi to build a career in modeling there. As a result, she actually turns out to be among the girls who have to please the Arab sheikhs for money. Thanks to the scandal arranged by Katya, the group of models is sent back to Russia.
Returning to Moscow, the adventurer Katya and her two newly-made provincial friends Liza and Galya rent one apartment for three and begin to live off wealthy men, usually married.

Critical response
Film critic Boris Ivanov in Film.ru notes in his review:[4]
The heroines do not win special audience sympathy, but they do not need it, because you watch the film to find out what else the girls will throw out and how else they will joke. A cynical Russian comedy about girls of easy virtue, which awkwardly turns into a drama in the finale.
In turn, Zinaida Pronchenko said:[5]
We have seen all this many, many times in films with varying degrees of unconvincingness, ridiculing the lack of spirituality in the capital. Heroes without a past and a future wander in the fog of modernity, the era is recognized by brands, gadgets, musical hits and Internet memes. But, in general, the authors do not know anything about their characters.
