[3][4][5] Set in the summer of 1945, shortly after the end of World War II, the film follows a group of fighter pilots, Vadik, Lyosha, Garik, Vanya, and Misha, who are struggling with boredom and longing to return to their homes.

As their unit is unexpectedly ordered to stay in Germany, their hopes for a swift return are dashed, and the pilots slip into a state of near depression.

Amidst this gloom, news arrives that Lyosha is being assigned to a military factory in Smolensk, prompting Vadik to ask him to marry his girlfriend, Nastya Karpova, using his documents.

What begins as a straightforward request soon spirals into an unexpected adventure when Lyosha discovers that almost all his friends want him to bring back brides for them, each handing over their identification and wedding rings.

Despite the comedic turmoil, including confrontations with village authorities and attempts to marry off his friends, Lyosha finds himself entangled in a web of lies and unexpected alliances.
