Story
San Sanych Lyubomudrov is an energetic and in his own way talented, business man who can agree with everyone and get everything in an era of scarcity . His talent is the ability to be friends. San Sanych is all in business, from morning till night he arranges the affairs of his acquaintances on the principle of "you to me, I to you." San Sanych has useful links everywhere. To make useful contacts, to “keep the style” in public, to be successful always and in everything, to live in a big way is the meaning of Lyubomudrov’s life.
The daughter and wife of San Sanych become a victim, a "bargaining chip" of his desires and desire for success. Arranging the fate of Marina (he wants to marry her with the son of the “right” people, arrange for a “warm” place of work), he did not even ask her opinion about the life and career that he had prepared for her in advance. When it’s nearing the wedding, - the hall of an elite restaurant has been rented and guests are invited, - Marina suddenly refuses to get married and Lyubomudrov gets into a delicate situation ...
In parallel, the line of his relationship is developing at work with a new boss who has a different system of values and does not accept such views of his subordinate on life. True, often absent from work, San Sanych easily copes with his duties, San Sanych is easy-going and enterprising, honest in business. In the end, having fallen into a monetary adventure because of debts, San Sanych intimidates himself, and realizes how confused he is.
