The main character is an average person with average parameters: a wife, two children, a modest job, a modest salary. There is nothing unusual about Sergei Nedelin, except for one strange hobby: he likes to wander through the evening streets, look into windows and storefronts. Life is raging everywhere, and only his existence seems poor and squalid to him.

At a stop on demand (that is, where the bus stops, only if you really ask), on the outskirts of an ordinary Russian city, a humble man named Smirnov stands in the rain. I decided to go to my mother after a slight quarrel with my wife Natasha.

Our time. A provincial town. Here, as everywhere, there are their intrigues, their heroes, their villains. And people live, of course, not only with work and household chores. People live with worries, disappointments, unexpected meetings. Once upon a time, three friends Pestrov, Suvorov and Chagin studied at the same institute, walked together, loved together. Time has passed, and youthful hobbies have grown into something more. Three friends became rivals in love. Rivals in life. Their destinies are connected by a single maze, through which they all wander, against the walls and corners of which they are thrown by love, hate, friendship.

The bosses decide to use an unconventional means: to call a psychic - and let him cure everyone of drunkenness, pessimism and lack of work enthusiasm.
