Plot
Every morning successful advertising specialist Konstantin Arkhipov hurries to yet another meeting with the unknown — a project that promises career growth, voices of women calling and beckoning on the phone, a new secretary chosen up to high standards. However, during the mad run, Kostya Arkhipov has lost control of his own life. At work, constant squabbles and intrigues, the relationship with his wife - at a dead end, his beloved daughter has become self-absorbed, his mother has not spoken to him for a long time. In an effort to push back all the difficulties, he constantly flies somewhere and is terribly tired of such a rush. He even suffers from insomnia.
The crisis caused by the middle age coincides for the hero with an unpleasant discovery: after seeing the doctor's card in the course of a scheduled examination, the hero reads there that he has cancer and only a few months left to live. The prosperous life of an influential person comes to an end. Not because he made any decisions, but for the reason that his illness contributed to the fact that others have imposed these decisions on him. And when it turns out that the diagnosis was false - it becomes clear that the old life will not return.
Konstantin decides to do what he has not done, express everything he could not say, and, finally, live as the heart and conscience dictate.
