Danya comes from the provinces to Moscow. He dreams of conquering the capital and becoming a popular stand-up comedian. The young man has nothing but ambition in his soul, but he needs to live somewhere right now, and he rents a room from Vyacheslav Sokolov, a grumpy old man offended by life. And although the relationship between Danya and Vyacheslav cannot be called rosy, as it turns out, they have more in common than one might think. By a strange coincidence, in the past, Sokolov is a popular Soviet satirist.
