Who says that true love only comes once in a lifetime? Someone must have. But they were wrong. Ada's grandparents had to keep their aristocratic origins a secret in the Soviet Union, but still managed to hold onto their principles, along with some of the family jewels. Ada's mother is a gifted singer at the Bolshoi Theatre. And Ada herself? Ada had no clearly defined talents, apart from the talent of pleasing people. Everyone liked her, without exception: young and old, clever and stupid, cats and dogs, military and bureaucrats. And Ada herself didn't discriminate; she just wanted to love and be loved, nothing more. The times change: Perestroika makes its entrance; the Soviet Union disintegrates, the era of Mafia-like capitalism dawns. But Ada is still Ada – even though the objects of her affection change. Whether a man is a KGB agent or a dissident, Ada always loves him for who he is beneath that. This is the story of a woman who never stops believing in happiness.
