A lonely old man lives in the village - Ivan Makarov, angry and prickly. All his wealth is a house and an accordion. Yes, there is still a dream - to go to Moscow and speak on television: what if the son, who has long forgotten about him, sees and responds? But in Moscow, instead of his son, he finds a homeless teenager, Sergei, nicknamed "The Hoop". Returning together to Ivan's native village, they do not realize that life is preparing them another test to test true male friendship, fortitude and stamina in overcoming any blows of fate.
