In a small village in the Soviet Union, where the pace of life is slow and traditions intertwine with daily routines, a group of friends decides to embark on a risky adventure: the clandestine production of alcohol in an artisanal manner. It all begins when one of them, an ingenious and charismatic man, realizes the limited possibilities for fun in his peaceful rural life. Hoping to improve their finances and add some excitement to their existence, they start secretly distilling their own drink.
As production progresses, the group faces a series of obstacles ranging from a lack of materials to the watchful eyes of the authorities, who are aware of the growing rumors about the resurgence of "samogon," the popular homemade alcohol. The dynamics of friendship are put to the test as the characters navigate hilarious and dangerous situations, from wild parties to thrilling escapes from the police.
The story unfolds in a comedic and light tone, yet it also reflects everyday life in the USSR, with its rules and limitations. Throughout the plot, the friends will learn that while the path to fun may be fraught with complications, the true joys of life lie in friendship, in the small moments shared, and in the community they build together.
