Cynical Perm official Viktor Letaev oversees road construction and is used to always getting his way. He knows and loves his job, but is not interested in anything else. His credo: "I was chopping firewood, I was not up to these Chekhov's with Parsnips, because everyone needs firewood, and you can't warm a house with art." But the cynical worldview changes when culture and art become a new vector of development in the region. Now, in order to sit in the official's chair, he will have to study the cultural heritage of the Perm Region. To help himself, he takes lessons from Marina Nikolaevna, an art history teacher. Will she succeed in ennobling an uncultured official?
