Story
Architect Temirbek Sarsenbayev receives as a gift from a mysterious professor the ability to accurately throw objects at a target, from great distances and almost without aiming. The coach of the local basketball club "Arman" learns about this and invites him to try his hand at the game. Although Temirbek has no natural data for basketball, except for the ability to accurately throw the ball, his gift transforms the team that begins to “play on Sarsenbayev.”
The team, led by a new leader, scores a number of high-profile victories, and Temirbek himself becomes a real basketball star. Fans literally carry him in his arms, he has fans, which he could not even dream of before. But success and fame do not bring happiness to Sarsenbayev, he understands that he could not become a real basketball player.
On the eve of the decisive match, he announces his departure from the club. “Arman” begins to lose without its leader, Temirbek still comes to the game to help the team. Having come to the court and having achieved a turning point in the game, he asks the coach to replace him with a young player, an “eternal substitute”. Arman wins, and Sarsenbayev finally leaves the sport after the match.
