Plot

[edit]

After being discharged from the hospital, police Colonel Malych attends a housewarming party for his new neighbors in a communal apartment, only to recognize his neighbor as Slepnyev, a former repeat offender he once imprisoned. Now seemingly reformed, Slepnyev has returned to the city of his youth with his wife and children, intent on leaving his criminal past behind.

The plot centers on a pair of hidden guns Slepnyev concealed before his arrest—prized by both the police and criminals—and his internal struggle with the values of his former underworld life. When Slepnyev attempts to dispose of the weapons in a river, he is intercepted by criminals who use the guns in a violent robbery at a savings bank. Coincidentally present at the scene to pay household bills, Slepnyev intervenes to save Malych from being killed by one of the desperate criminals, risking his life to protect the man who once put him behind bars.
