The film tells about the full energy of a pensioner who decides to prove to everyone that his life has just begun.

Plot

Lukov Senior is an energetic and lively man nearing retirement, but his family—an adult son, a determined daughter-in-law, and a growing grandson —all insist on casting him in the role of the elderly patriarch who should sit back and relax, accepting his place as an "old man" watching life from the sidelines.
Unwilling to accept this fate, Lukov Senior is determined to prove that his life is far from over and that he still has plenty of vigor and spirit. When he hints at the idea of remarrying, however, his son, supported by his wife and son, firmly objects, claiming marriage is a reckless move for someone of his age. Fueled by this opposition, Lukov sets out to show his family—and himself—that he is still capable of living fully, making bold decisions, and, if he so chooses, even getting married again.
