Strange encounter (My stranno vstretilis)

Nadia Reshetova is an attractive 30-year old woman who works for the local council where she is well respected for her honesty and integrity. She has remained single, however, as many men feel threatened by her career, until she meets Viktor. Viktor and Nadia begin an intense courtship and after two weeks, Viktor proposes to her before leaving for a business trip to Moscow.
When he returns, he tells Nadia that a contract he had signed for constructing a new road is now under threat, as the residents of a nearby village are refusing to move. Viktor pressurises Nadia into signing the papers giving the project the go-ahead, however, Nadia, convinced she has made the wrong decision, decides to visit the village behind his back. On her way, she gets lost and, after spending the night in her car, is rescued by one of the villagers, Grigoriy, a 40-year old man who tells her that he cannot afford to move as the crops he grows in his garden feed his entire family. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Viktor who demands that Nadia resigns from her job and moves to Moscow with him immediately.
Nadia reluctantly agrees, but on the morning of their wedding, Grigoriy appears and tells Nadia that the village is safe as the council have discovered that Viktor’s project was a scam. Appalled, Nadia leaves Viktor at the altar, accepting the honourable Grigoriy’s proposal of marriage instead.
