Kharkiv, the 1930s. The heyday of Ukrainian art. Ambitious young poet Vladimir Akimov happily settles in at the new luxury "Slovo" House built specifically for artists. He comes from the provinces and works as a proof-reader in a printing press, and has never even dreamed of living under one roof with prominent Ukrainian writers and artists. He thinks his own poetry is genius, but nobody takes his literary efforts seriously, not to mention the occasional chuckles over his epigone poems. But fate smiles at him. The head of the political intelligence agency suggests that he become the author of a play written earlier. Akimov agrees, signing a non- disclosure note. The poet has no idea what price he will pay for this success. “‘Slovo’ House” is a story about a generation of Ukrainian artists persecuted by the totalitarian system, unfolding against the backdrop of one of the largest genocides of the 20th century: the Holodomor, which caused the death of almost 7 million people.

In 1991, Russia discovered big money. In 2011, money is everything… Present-day Moscow. A bag with a million euros in cash is stolen form the car of a successful business man “with connections.” Going from one happy owner to the next, the moolah changes hands quickly… And it all began when the millionaire Grigory refused to declare his taxes.

The protagonist of the film is Igor Smirnov. He is a bank employee, but our hero is very bad at combining work and personal life. Most recently, a beloved girl left Igor. Igor intends to return his beloved at any cost. In order to achieve a positive result, the protagonist of the comedy comes up with a very non-standard solution. Taking a close journalist friend as his partner, Igor goes to a corporate party at the house of his impudent rival. They are someone Vlad Vishnevsky. But far from Igor Smirnov appears on the threshold of the house. Vlad was pleasantly surprised and at the same time shocked when Lucy Zaitseva, a newly minted singer, appeared before the guests. But what is our hero up to?
