SummaryJulia does not want to celebrate her 17th birthday with her family and among all the adults who have invited her parents. She would rather spend the day together with friends and schoolmates, together with the young literature teacher Marina Maximowna. Marina Maximowna has the confidence of the students in her class: she is something like an older friend, with whom you can talk openly about everything. She has understanding for everything, even for criticism of the school and some teachers who think more of memorizing than of their own thoughts. Julia's mother finds a tape on which such a conversation is recorded and what has been said outrages her. With the tape as evidence, she complains and goes to the headmaster. The director does not really know how to handle this case either: Does it have to be an affair?
