And one day she sees this prince - in the window of the house opposite. A beautiful stranger makes bouquets of roses. Tanya does not suspect that he is falling in love with a dangerous criminal nicknamed “Cuba”. In the bouquets, “Cuba” inserts miniature microphones, with which he listens to the apartments of those who buy flowers at his front company. But once the microphone, hidden in colors, finds itself in the office of a raider company preparing to capture an industrial enterprise.
