This film is difficult to retell, because in it, both reality and invention, dream and illusion - everything mixed up amazingly, moving from one to another. The picture goes to the accompaniment of music and sounds. At the very beginning of the film, a person looks at the keyhole from a ajar cabinet. Everything that will follow, occurs in the imagination of this person. The whimsical sequence of events puts two brothers in the center of the film. Unrealized ambitions, lost youth, an inevitable brain operation, a father obsessed with suicide, a rich grandfather - these are the ingredients of this full humor of the film.
