The heroines of the Russian melodramatic series "And the Ball Will Return" are four graduating friends: Tanya, Vera, Shura, and Svetik. They have spent all their school years hand in hand and plan to embark on adult life together as well. However, their destinies are turned upside down by a tragic event at their graduation. Beautiful Shura is attacked by hooligans. It is unknown how it would have ended if Tanya hadn't come to her rescue. The only problem is that she draws the villains' attention to herself and becomes a victim of violence instead of her friend.
