In the center of Moscow, under one roof, live four generations of a Jewish family. And although the Abramovichs live very close to the synagogue, they are all, with the exception of old Musa Lvovna, very far from Jewish traditions, religion and consciousness. Boria sells and eats pork and tries to succeed in business, his son David hides his origin and his wife Alla does not suspect how much she looks like a real Yiddish mother.
But everything changes one day when a lightning strikes Boria. Coming to his senses he meets the spirit of his ancestor, the old wicked Haim. Haim once committed a horrible sin and caused a curse on their entire lineage. Only Boria can lift this curse on the Abramovich family but to do so he must free Haim's soul.
