The story starts in the Russian city of Nizhni Navgarad. Anya is a woman in her 20s who lives with Jenya, her bodybuilder and swimming instructor boyfriend. She works at a bakery and is constantly surrounded by food. She was a size zero when the couple first met, but she’s acquired a significant amount of weight in recent months. They are summoned to a friend’s wedding one day.
Anya tries on clothes for a few months ago and discovers they no longer fit. She tries to comfort herself by telling herself that no one will notice, but the alteration in her body is enormous. Jenny is aware of this, but he avoids commenting on how much weight she’s gained, since he recognizes that it’s a sensitive subject for her. Anya finds a great outfit and gets ready after trying on a few and ripping a few in the process. Jenna’s face drops in surprise when he sees her in the gown.
She’s no longer the girl with whom he was previously involved. He doesn’t want to be seen with her at the wedding because all of his fitness industry friends will be in attendance. He teases her with subtle clues in the hopes that she’ll stay home. Anya, much to his relief, says she wants to stay home and order pizza. Jenya vows to congratulate the newlyweds and return home in an instant, despite her pleas for him to stay with her.
He takes her up and places her on the counter before leaving, but she tries to kiss him and he dodges. Anya recognizes the gesture but keeps her emotions hidden. She changes into more comfortable clothing after he leaves and weighs herself, discovering that she weighs 76 kg. Her loan resolve, despite her constant complaints about gaining weight, is to drink a glass of water after reciting her daily affirmations. Even now, while waiting for her partner, she cooks some fried food and surfs the internet.
She finds images of Jena and his pals at the wedding. While on the phone, when she zooms in on a group photo, she notices that the girls Jena hangs out with are thin and fit. She can’t help but make comparisons to them. Then she sees a picture of Jenya and a girl, and when she checks her profile, she sees a Boomerang of the girl kissing him on the cheek. Anya only needs to get dressed, put on some cosmetics, and dashed to the wedding.
After watching the video, Natasha, her best friend, is summoned to pick her up. Natasha notes that Anya has gained weight as well, but she still thinks she’s stunning. She grips her face and tells her to be confident in her own skin. When Anna arrives at the venue, she notices Jena dancing with the girl and getting close to her. Jealousy gets the best of her and she gets in the way of her relationship.
Jenya appears surprised, but he continues to dance, despite the other girls scoffing and walking away. After a short while the pair sits down and Anya begins to eat. Jenya tries to explain away why he was dancing with a girl by claiming they were in a dancing group. When Anya pushes him, she screams and declares that he no longer likes her. He goes on to say that she does nothing but eat and has become a burden to him.
Anya begins to cry, but the bridal couple approaches them before they can speak. When the bride asks Anya if she’s pregnant, they try to smile, but it fades. Jena then walks away. After bidding her farewell, Anya is on her way to her mother’s house on a bus. In the next scene, she’s sobbing wildly, unconcerned about what others think of her.
She comes in on her mother having a conversation with a date. He notices something isn’t quite right and goes outside to give them some space. Any informs her mother that her boyfriend dumped her due to her weight. Her mother claims that she’s not obese, but rather has large bones and she’s unable to manage. The remark makes her feel much worse than she was feeling before.
She sleeps on her mother’s couch at night while scrolling through genius photos on her phone. She also discovers a photo of herself taken a few months ago. She zooms in on her figure, saddened by how much it’s altered. She gets a call from Natasha the next morning asking her to come over. Anya stakes her bet on Natasha’s balcony and spends the night there moaning about their split.
Jena, it turns out, had gone there the night before to drop off all her possessions. Natasha invites her to spend a few days with her and her husband Damas, till she finds a place of her own. Anya doesn’t want to feel better, so she attempts to console her. She only wants to cry and complain about her dreadful ex boyfriend with whom she wants to reconcile. Even Demas tries to cheer her up by proclaiming that she’s the sexiest female in town, but it’s ineffective.
Natasha approaches her the next morning after she spent the night on the balcony. Anya has told a story of a buddy who is in the same situation as her. Her boyfriend texted her to break up with her because she’d gained weight rather than grumbling and bitching like Anya. The girl went to the gym and lost weight in a month. The unfortunate lover was so upset by his decision that he sent flowers to her office begging her to reconsider.
When Anya laments that she doesn’t have enough money to join a gym, Natasha proposes that she takes advantage of the one week free trial offered by all the gyms in town. Anya goes to the gym for the first time the next morning. After doing her morning affirmations and drinking a glass of water. She takes some time to get used to the machine and falls off the treadmill multiple times, but all of her hard work is for not because an hour later she’s eating for two at a restaurant. Natasha, a restaurant employee, throws her food out.
She encourages her pale to show some control when she couldn’t commit for more than 2 hours. When she gets home, Anya moisturizes her entire body and covers it in plastic wrap. She hopes that by using this approach, she’ll be able to shed a few pounds while eating a bag of chips. She tries to sneak food from the refrigerator at midnight, but Natasha catches her. She’s determined not to eat anything harmful the next day.
Because she works in a bakery, this is very challenging for her. She looks icing off her fingers while decorating a cake and makes up for it by doing ten squats. Throughout the day. Food beckons to her, but she resists. She’s left alone with a whole cake at one point.
She stares at it for a long time, trying to think of a reason to eat it. She gives up after pacing about and nearly damaging a shelf and eats half the cake. All at once, Anya realizes she’s having a problem. She attends a meeting of a self help group for those with a compulsive eating disorder. A single man named Coley stands among the females.
Any introduces herself as Angela and claims she’s not suffering from an eating condition. Instead, she poses as a journalist working on an article about eating problems. The group tries to reason with their circumstances, refusing to acknowledge that they have a problem. Cola, enraged, points at each of them and accuses them of being obese, including himself. He also claims that Anya lied about being a journalist because she refuses to acknowledge she has a problem.
Anya exits the gathering, pretending to take a phone call, but Kolya follows her. Anya accepts his invitation to a local restaurant because she can’t say no to food. Cola suggests that they become fitness sponsors for each other. They’ll have to work out with each other every day, ask each other before eating anything, and provide emotional support throughout the process if they do it this way. Anya isn’t sure what Colya’s genuine motives are, but she figures it’s worth a shot.
They begin running at a park every morning. Anya is hesitant to be with Kolya at first, but as time passes, she finds that he’s a kind person. He’s unafraid of what his body looks like, which she finds strange. Spending time with him makes her appreciative of her own physique. They converse before each meal and are adept at assisting one another because they’re dealing with the same issue.
Anya begins to lose weight quickly when she goes to the pool parties and sees Slender Girls looking stunning. Her confidence begins to SAG. Colya’s sister whenever she’s frustrated to relieve stress, they frequently scream at the top of their lungs. Anya only wants Jenya’s approval, which makes Cola envious. She loses 10 kg in one and a half months and is ready to meet Jenny again.
She goes out and buys a bikini in the hopes of running into him at a pool. He works as a teacher and has taken him back when he sees her. They get into the pool and start splashing water at each other. After speaking for a time, everything is fine until the bridesmaid shows there and introduces herself as Jenny’s girlfriend for the second time. Anya is heartbroken.
She spends the entire night partying and drinking to forget about him. She wakes up naked and colya’s bed the next morning. He assures her that he did not take a nude peek at her. Anya was about to go home with a stranger in a flashback from the other night, but Cohen arrived just in time and saved her with a punch to the face. She rushes to her mother’s house after the unusual morning and tells her everything.
Anya, according to her mother, has unresolved pain from her father’s abandonment when she was a child. As a result, she seeks Jenny’s approval despite the fact that he’s unkind to her. Anya grasp what she’s saying and arranges to meet her father the next day. Because the journey is 5 hours long, she hires Cole as her driver. Coley tries to get closer to Anya throughout their journey, indicating that he likes her, but she’s indifferent to his advances.
They finally meet her father, Sergey, who lives with a woman in a wooden cottage. Anya inquires as to why he refuses to be part of her life. Sergey, on the other hand, reminds her of the day he showed up at her birthday party with a present, only to be thrown out the window. Anya accidentally spills a candle and sets the wooden house on fire. Late at night, Sergey shouts at her for destroying his home, seemingly unconcerned about her safety.
Following that, Anya and Coley return home. She kisses him on the nose before they separate. On the way home, Cole feels like he’s on top of the world. He even sells his watch to buy her flowers. Jenny meets Anya somewhere else and apologizes to her.
After a period of talking, they end up making love. When Colleague returns with the flowers, he’s dismayed to see them. Anya wakes up with Jena the next morning, who compliments her on how much better she looks than she did two years ago.
That leads Anya to realize that she does not require a meaningful relationship with someone like Jena and that she’s simply only been afraid of her partner abandoning her. Jenya walked out after they got into another disagreement.
