The time of action is the 80s of the XX century. In the center of the plot is a large friendly Arkhipov family: Father Ivan Arkhipov is a police general; mother Tatyana Mikhailovna - editor of Literaturnaya Gazeta; children Pavel, Alexei and Kostya were born as if with a golden spoon in their mouths. But the turbulent life at the turn of the ages, it seems, no longer leaves a chance for family harmony.
