The lot of a 27-year old boxer Gennady Kedrov turns to be not very happy. In spite of his glorious victories and battles, he is no longer invited to serious competitions. Trainers consider him to be lacking in prospects, saying that he is a bit old, overweighed and his character is not as simple he is too straightforward and cocky. Another problem is to earn his living. He doesnt want to work on plant, leaves Institute, and makes both ends meet by making casual work as loader, grave-digger, waste paper receiving clerk, and when his friend offers him to ferry a car he gets into real trouble.
