خلاصه داستان

Forty—five-year-old Anatoly Stolbov has been the head of the village of Ruzskoye for several years. He successfully manages the budget, periodically arranging lavish feasts and demonstrations for the commission from the center. His daughter Tanya went to Africa a year ago to teach Russian, and he misses her terribly. My daughter is finally returning, along with a group of Africans who have nowhere to live due to a natural disaster. Stolbov does not want to receive guests, but a commission from the center arrives here. Tanya represents the Africans to the commission and says that on Anatoly's initiative, their village participates in an international program of mutual assistance and resettlement. The commission praises Stolbov and promises to allocate money for the development of the program. Therefore, Stolbov and other villagers are forced to tolerate exotic guests. But when Anatoly finds out that Tanya is going to marry an African, his patience comes to an end.
