Plot synopsis
Henry (Genrikh Ivanovich Sergeev) has been an invalid since childhood. He lives in a small town in the Kirov region. He himself gave himself the nickname "iron man" and not only because all his life he moved around in an iron chair, but above all because it takes an iron will to overcome all the trials that fate has imposed on him.
Another would have spent his days alone in a wheelchair, but Henry has founded a family and acquired several specialties. He is not only a journalist, musician and poet, but also knows how to repair or make all sorts of devices, such as strange musical instruments. Ideas fly around him and the daily grayness becomes a real celebration.
