The experienced opera is too honest and cynical. He did not ingratiate himself with his superiors and did not advance his career. Over dozens of years of service, he only acquired an ulcer and a Khrushchev house on the outskirts of the city. His wife left, unable to withstand the competition with her job. Andrei dies in a fight with a criminal, but fate gives him a second chance. The major's consciousness is transferred back to the distant year 1978 into the body of an ordinary Soviet high school student about to enter medical school. All roads are open. Life can be lived differently. But Andrei again chooses the path of a police officer. He wants to go through it again, without mistakes and defeats. But it turned out that getting a job in the police during times of stagnation is not so easy. And somewhere nearby lives a ten-year-old boy, from whose hands he died in 2022.
