[1][2] The film tells about four friends who, after passing the final exams, decides to go to the Baltic States to feel like adults, and even the attempt of the brother of one of them to dissuade them from the venture fails.

Meanwhile, his younger brother, Dmitry, freshly graduated from school, rejects guidance and impulsively embarks on a journey from Moscow to Estonia with friends Alyk Kramer, Yuri, and classmate Galya Bodrova, who secretly harbors feelings for him.

However, tensions arise as Dmitry’s reckless behavior strains his relationship with Galya, and the group ends up working as laborers in a furniture store before joining a fishing collective on the Estonian coast.

While Viktor chooses to sacrifice his academic career by refusing to defend a flawed dissertation, Dmitry experiences personal growth, taking on responsibility within the collective and forming a relationship with a local girl, Ulvi.
