Two Voronezh families of different incomes learn that in the maternity hospital each of them accidentally mixed up children. After 16 years, adults decide to restore historical justice. Now Ivan has to learn to survive in the house of his poor biological parents, and Danila — to get acquainted with the rules of behavior in a secular society.
Soon the house of poor Ivanovs burns down, and they settle under one roof with rich Ivanovs. The joint life of two families is not easy. However, they still manage to come to compromises. At the same time, parents get closer to their "new" sons, but do not forget about the "former".
