Plot
Vera and Nikita have been married for three years. Their family life turns out to be not so perfect and they decide to separate. And they are so impatient to end their relationship, that they are going to the registry office to submit an application for divorce the next day. In the midst of a quarrel, they exchange categorical opinions with each other about what constitutes as a "normal husband" and "good wife."
The next day they wake up each with their ideal partner in the same bed. Now each of them has their own better half: Nikita has a busty blonde (Polina Maksimova) who cooks well, and Vera has a caring husband-businessman (Mikhail Galustyan) who buys her favorite croissants for breakfast in the morning. Vera and Nikita end up having to choose whether to live with their new families, or to get back together again. As a result, the spouses understand that, despite the quarrels, their feelings for each other are strong, and they reconcile.
