The daughter and her husband are trying to arrange the fate of the old man—her father. This old man has come to Moscow from a village; he suffers from loneliness and the alien city life. He gladly communicates only with the stray street birds, although he lives in a nice apartment with his daughter and son-in-law. They, in turn, to distract him from sad old-man thoughts and purely out of good intentions, decide to find him a wife and select "brides" for him. All three brides come to the meeting, and many funny situations arise because, by mistake, they all came at once. These three brides are pensioners — an eccentric former ballerina, a strict former nurse from a psychiatric hospital, and a kind-hearted mother of a family. But among these lonely elderly people, interest in each other awakens, warm relationships develop, and there is hope that something in life will change.
