A musical television film based on the play by A.V. Sukhovo-Kobylin. The comedy "Krechinsky's Wedding" by Alexander Vasilyevich Sukhovo-Kobylin, written in the mid-19th century, is one of the finest works of Russian drama. The action of the play resembles a card game, where the stakes are Happiness, Life, and Honor. The characters' desire to preserve their dignity and find freedom from the gray everyday life and routine sounds extremely modern. The main character of the play, now in his twilight years, has realized the meaninglessness of his life's journey and is now fighting for at least a small "piece" of simple human happiness.
This case has been under investigation for five years, it has gone through all the courts, and there are so many papers in this case that they are "carried from one court to another on a cart." The case is known as the Muromsky case. The investigation is being conducted against Lidochka. She is suspected of knowing about Krechinsky's intention to rob Muromsky, of assisting him in this, and of providing this criminal assistance because she was having an illicit love affair with him.
Mikhail Vasilyevich Krechinsky, an avid gambler and cardsharp, loses a large sum of money. Creditors are closing in on him from all sides. The only way out is to marry a rich girl. To get his father's blessing and speed up the wedding, Krechinsky resorts to deception.
