Sergei Gudov has everything he needs for happiness: a housewife, a beautiful daughter, and a farm in a village near Moscow. All he lacks is an heir who would continue the family business. His привычный way of life is shattered when an orphan named Matvey appears on his doorstep, claiming to be the farmer's son.

Matvey secretly searches the house for the will, hoping to secure his rights to the farm. Getting hold of the documents turns out to be difficult: the head of the family is cautious and always keeps all important documents with him.

Sergey accidentally breaks the household vacuum cleaner. Realizing that the handy Vera will be furious about the damaged equipment, the farmer decides to take action ahead of time. To make amends and soften his wife's anger, he takes on landscaping and starts laying a new path in the yard.
