In the USSR, Margarita Tenshova worked at a newspaper as a third-category technician and kissed the young watchman Dimochka Kegelban. After emigrating to the USA, both Dimochka and her entire former life peeled off like old wallpaper. Even Margarita's name has changed: Marge Tensch.

She opens a literary agency in Hollywood. Clients consider her an angel and give her a harp for her birthday. She gives them a bag of asphalt - to make a runway for the Muse.

Marge rebels against the war in Iraq, acts in a movie about Martians, retells the latest history and is looking for love: not only for herself, but also for someone something else - intelligent and funny.
