Plot
Spartak Molodtsov (Leonid Kuravlyov) is a man who can not leave well enough alone. Because of this he always gets into trouble. So one morning he finds a broken high tension wire and is late for work which nearly derails the reception of visitors because his new bureaucrat-chief (Borislav Brondukov) is afraid to make decisions without him.
Molodtsov at his post meets an alcoholic of the name of Chokolov (Georgy Vitsin) and Tamara – a female van driver who transports ice cream (Tatyana Kravchenko). A visitor of the facility, Comrade Kipiani (Tamaz Toloraya), eventually finds him there, on his post, near the wire. The finale of the film is fairly unexpected.
