Plot synopsis

The manager Petya Starikov, who works at a giant chocolate factory, has no idea what is going on beyond the guarded territory. Up to a certain point the milestones of his life are fairly predictable: tasks, financial incentives, defense of projects. But this guy, who seems indistinguishable from his colleagues, suddenly becomes the victim of a load of misfortunes, incredible coincidences and luck. Petya finds himself at the centre of a power struggle between militia and bandits, and gets an important assignment from his American boss, and causes a fight between two beautiful girls. The order of things is disrupted once and for all; an inconspicuous person, he becomes the main character and finds freedom.
