The film is set in the apartment of an old Moscow mansion. In the middle of the 19th century, the squandering nobleman Burkovsky sells the family home, and from that moment the apartment begins its transformation and it gets interwoven with the destinies of the people who have inhabited it: from the Narodnaya Volya members to the Bolshevik commissars, from the terrible communal apartment to the re-creation of the chic apartments by the "new Russian" Rumyanov - satirist, poet, actor. Hosts and lodgers, aristocrats and petty bourgeoises, believers and atheists - each of the many heroes lived their only life in the way they thought right as it happened to them ...
