The Sokolov family is celebrating a housewarming party, and everyone has the best hopes for this event. But from the very beginning, everything goes wrong. The father of the family, Nikolai, a former military pilot, can not find a job. His wife Larisa, a pediatrician, on the contrary, easily and quickly gets a job in a polyclinic, where her boss immediately begins to take care of her. Nikolai is angry because of the work and goes crazy with jealousy. And between the endlessly quarreling parents is a high school student Lika, who also has a very difficult personal life. At the moment when the passions are particularly heated, Vera Mikhailovna, Larisa's mother and Nikolai's mother-in-law, appears on the threshold of the Sokolovs ' apartment. Wanting to restore peace and quiet in the house, she only adds fuel to the fire. And now, it seems that only a miracle can save the Sokolov family from the final collapse.
