About the plot
The hot-tempered boxer Max gets involved in a street fight and ends up in prison. His life is radically changing: Max loses his bride and loses the opportunity to build a successful career. After the expiration of the term, Max no longer wants to return to the ring, so he leaves for another more violent sport - rugby. During training, the young man meets the former gymnast Nastya, who became part of the women's rugby team just for the sake of money.
