Overview
The mother-in-law is very different from the mother-in-law of 40 years ago. The modern mother-in-law is the wife of one of the oligarchs. Living a luxurious life, Janan spends her days in massage parlors and shopping. However, like most mothers-in-law, she likes to interfere in her child's choices. So, although her son Fuad wants to marry the daughter of the maid who works in their house, Janan strongly objects, stating that she is not suitable for their family. Fuad, in turn, asks for help from his uncle Shohrat. They meet Ilgar, who presented the fake bride to the mother-in-law in the film 40 years ago. Ilgar introduces the foreign bride Mufita to Janan as the daughter of the king of Atruba. And all the adventures begin from then on.
