Stas Atasov arrived at the opening of the Novy Svet shopping center and disappeared among the goods and buyers without a trace. The head of security, Patronych, also known as former district police officer Anton Petrovich Motyl, is trying to solve the riddle, but quickly gets tired. But saleswoman Liza Kuritsyna is enthusiastic. Meanwhile, several characters arrive at the shopping center: drunken gambler Vasily Goryukhin, thief Kostya Tarakan and Andrei Afanasyevich Mizulkin, who wanted to buy shoes. They will collide like billiard balls, change their trajectories, as well as goals and objectives, and even outlook on life and the future. Contains obscene language.
