Andrey Sokolov and Sasha Kravtsova met on the ship. He worked as an assistant captain, and she celebrated her birthday on a grand scale. The party turned out to be so incendiary that the ship burned down. Andrey lost his job, and Sasha was sent by the oligarch dad to work as a maid on one of his cruise liners for educational purposes. Now she is waiting for a year surrounded by seascapes, an international team, unmade cabins and an old friend – the assistant director of the cruise… Andrey Sokolov. It's going to be a very, very long year.
