He has everything for happiness: a miracle wife, an obstinate daughter, an actress sister, a pink goat and many problems. According to the capital’s development, a metro station should be built exactly on the site of the protagonist’s house. But it was not there. It is difficult to agree if you communicate in different languages. In the literal and figurative sense.
