Plot

The characters from the first film now have children, who have managed to get into the same situation as their parents many years ago. However, the story is not simply a remake of the original movie. All of the adventures were accidental, but here everything is done according to a plan thought up by a friend of Lukashin.

Pavlik's idea is to help his friend, Evenly, with his loneliness so he dispatches Lukashin's son to St. Petersburg, where he acts in the same manner as his father 30 years ago. In flat 12, he meets Nadezhda, who is actually the daughter of Nadezhda from the first film. She has a fiancé called Irakliy, a businessman. Kostantin's task is to lure Iracliy away from the flat and then wait for Nadezhda's mother to come; he then makes her call Evgeniy Lukashin. Pavlik persuades Evgeniy to go to St Petersburg.

The plot becomes a story of two fights over a woman: Konstantin vs. Irakliy and Evgeniy vs. Ippolit. Finally, Lukashins win the competition, because Irakliy turns out to be too dull for Nadya, and Nadezhda understands that she was never in love with Ippolit.
