A Soviet social satire that balances comedic irreverence about a dissolute plumber's self-destructive habits with genuine warmth about the redemptive possibility of human connection.

Afonya Borshev is a plumber who drinks a lot, flirts a lot and doesn't care too much about tomorrow. His wife left him, his boss placed him on probation, his whole life is falling apart, but he doesn't realize it. When Afonya met Katya at a dance club he didn't pay her much attention, yet she may be the only one who can help him.
