Gelya is enjoying being young. Her elder sister Kristina is expecting a second child at the age of just 17, and people are predicting the same fate for 14-year-old Gelya. After going out for a walk with a boy who is besotted with her, she ends up getting drunk on strawberry beer and sitting on his lap while weeping over her own unrequited love. Gelya then returns home, just as her sister is discharged from the maternity hospital.
