What to do when a reasoned and intelligent person - Professor Girin is forced to give a test of foreign literature to a careless student Kolobkova, who for him is only a plague of God. She has never read Hamlet in her life and usually falls asleep on the 7th page of any literary work.
For him, it is a nullity and a daddy's girl. For her, he's a boring man, a man with two functions: reading and questioning. However, over time, the phrase “until new exciting meetings,” which Jirin told the stupid youngster after another “failure,” takes on a whole different meaning.
