Assia lives in a small Russian village, populated by useless alcoholics. She sells eggs and alcohol to her neighbours, and everybody is happy. However, one day, her hen lays a golden egg, and Assia may have a golden opportunity.

A group of Russian noblemen want to maintain the monarchy and plan to kill Rasputin.

The main character, nineteen-year-old Anastasiy Chizhov, was appointed commander of the Zver patrol ship. Under his leadership, the old fishing vessel becomes a strong fighting unit.

Foggy morning. A lone fisherman finds a woman on the shore of the White Sea and brings her to his house. Captured by her amazing beauty, he behaves like a child trying to find contact with her. Despite his concern, anxiety does not leave a woman, and she leaves, wanting to find a new path.

His friend Sima sends the wayward driver Volodya Telescopov to take the barrels accumulated at the village buffet to the Koryazhsk regional center. By chance, a variety of fellow travelers gather in Volodya's truck. The story of the journey is interspersed with their dreams. In them, the bizarrely reflected reality converges among the heroes of the story in one thing — the desire to finally meet a Good Person.
