Russia, 1936: revolutionary hero Colonel Kotov is spending an idyllic summer in his dacha with his young wife and six-year-old daughter Nadia and other assorted family and friends. Things change dramatically with the unheralded arrival of Cousin Dmitri from Moscow, who charms the women and little Nadia with his games and pianistic bravura. But Kotov isn"t fooled: this is the time of Stalin"s repression, with telephone calls in the middle of the night spelling doom - and he knows that Dmitri isn"t paying a social call...

V stolitse velikoj imperii, v okrovavlennoj vanne, lezhit vskryvshij sebe veny Mitya. Nad Moskvoj vysokoe sinee nebo, strana optimistov prosypaetsya dlya novogo dnya, novogo shaga v svetloe buduschee. No eto sluchitsya, kogda nastupit zavtra...
Segodnya - solnechnyj letnij den 1936 goda. Molodaya strana, polnaya entuziazma, prazdnuet 4-yu godovschinu stalinskogo dirizhablestroeniya. Legendarnyj komdiv Kotov i ego bolshaya shumnaya semya otdyhayut na dache. V starom dome sobralas tma narodu: zhena-krasavitsa, neposeda-doch, test - izvestnyj russkij dirizher, rodstvenniki i druzya, domrabotnitsy i sosedi. Vesele bet cherez kraj, i mysl, chto chto-to v zhizni mozhet izmenitsya, pokazhetsya vsem absurdom. Oni vse budut schastlivy vechno! I nikto, dazhe mudryj Kotov, ne hochet verit v neizbezhnoe. V to, chto etot solnechnyj den konchitsya - i ne povtoritsya uzhe nikogda.
