In 1930s Moscow, Posidelkin tries to obtain a ticket to Yeysk so he can travel with his family to the Sea of Azov. Instead of going to the ticket office, he seeks help from numerous acquaintances and influential people, drawing up a detailed chart of their connections and what they can do. His persistence disrupts the peace of those around him, while the chain of intercessions takes an unexpected turn. With humor, the story reveals the power of personal connections and the consequences of rejecting a simple solution.
