A man died. Right near his home – he got hit by a car. On the fortieth day, his family and friends gather to honor his memory. A familiar situation – division of inheritance. Everyone is given the right to show their best and worst qualities. Not everyone gets out of this situation with honor. Suddenly, the process of division is interrupted by the arrival of the very driver under whose wheels the man died.
