In search of income, Semyon accepts a job offer from a casual acquaintance, not realizing that this person leads a criminal gang.

Semyon comes up with an idea: to go abroad (to the Netherlands), get imprisoned there, and thus ride out the dangerous period until Russian law enforcement loses interest in him.

Attempting to provoke an arrest, Lyamkin draws a mustache and beard on a portrait of the Queen of the Netherlands, thereby insulting Her Majesty.

Adding assault on a law enforcement officer to the mix, Lyamkin ends up with a four-month sentence in a Dutch prison.

The film clearly falls short of an eccentric comedy of masks due to the lack of original tricks and situations.
