The residents of a remote village decided to stage a play based on Kotlyarevsky's "Aeneid" on their own. The initiator of this unusual undertaking was Kolot, an energetic and creative young man from the village. He had previously been dismissed from the police force, but now he had plenty of free time. Having gathered a group of like-minded friends and colorful villagers, he saw the project through to completion, and on the eve of the premiere, he decided to show the play to his former colleagues in the police force. Who could have imagined the strange events that would follow!
