Blood Is Thicker Than Water

Overview

Anya is used to achieving everything in life on her own. Denying herself many things, she is the only one in the family who works and takes care of her mother and sister. Anya’s sister, Masha, is her complete opposite. Since childhood, she has been the parents’ favorite, with every whim indulged, and she is used to getting the best of everything and attracting plenty of male attention. Masha easily steals Anya’s boyfriend, Yuri, who in reality is interested neither in Masha nor Anya, but in obtaining a Moscow residence permit. Life keeps bringing Anya new surprises: unexpectedly, a man appears claiming to be her real father. Gravely ill, he comes seeking her forgiveness. But Anya’s happiness is short-lived — her father dies soon after.
