The first season takes place in one of Kyiv's student hostels, where young people from all over Ukraine, completely different in character, habits, and life goals, meet by chance. Some came to conquer the capital for the sake of a career, some in search of love, and some are simply trying to survive exam season. Living in one space, sharing a common kitchen, and trying to get along is no easy task. The characters constantly end up in funny and awkward situations, learn to find compromises, support one another in hard moments, and become a real friendly team.
