Annotation

USSR, back in the sixties ... Sergeant Victor is young, good-looking, and his credo is simple and pragmatic. He would do anything to achieve his goal in life - a career. So far, luck helps him: an army general takes him, a cadet from the Kremlin Guard, to work as his personal driver. General Serov expects to marry Victor to his hapless daughter Vera. Vera is lame. But even this is OK with Victor who is ready to marry the daughter of a general to get a chance to make it "into the higher realms".
