It Was Not Meant To Happen

Original title: Этого не должно было происходить

Directed by Evgenia Sargina

On the eve of moving in with her fiancé, Lenochka throws a swap party with her friends, trying to shed unnecessary things and doubts. An evening full of conversations, memories, and casual confessions reveals cracks in her "perfect" future: betrayal, omissions, and a lack of true intimacy. The arrival of a stranger, Lyova, forces Lenochka to take a hard look at her relationship. What was supposed to be a step into a new life turns into a breaking point—and a chance to choose herself for the first time.
