The student, Rifle, has managed to seduce his professor's wife, Bomber, an average working guy, has bought a factory and Bullet, the casino lover, is hiding from creditors. They all share a common path and conscription. In the army they teach you that everything must be smart and in order - cockades, straps and all, otherwise you're not fit to call yourself a person, you're a maggot. For a real man, there's no better place than the army.

Sasha and Nadya are very close friends. They share everything with each other, support each other in everything, and so on. Even their personal lives aren’t working out for either of them. But then Sasha meets the handsome Gena — love, marriage, pregnancy. However, Gena turned out to be a scoundrel — he was cheating, he ruined the pregnancy, and he even tried to take the apartment (it turns out that was the whole point!). Sasha tried to slit her wrists, but her loyal Nadya saved her. In the hospital where Sasha ended up, Nadya met a young surgeon named Slava; they started a romance, but the girl accidentally discovered someone else’s women’s underwear in her boyfriend’s apartment! Girls just aren’t lucky, that’s all! To take their minds off things a bit, Nadya and Sasha go to relax at a campground outside the city.

The mid-60s, the time of the "thaw" after the terrible Stalin years. There was a "golden youth" - dudes in trousers with a pipe, jazz "on the ribs", the first farcers. Two blockheads cheerfully while away, trying the delights of adulthood - dancing, wine, girls. But in the end, everyone chooses his life path.
