An ordinary man’s life takes an unlikely turn when he saves the life of a high-ranking security officer in an accident.
In order to get the opportunity to make his first film, the aspiring director Maxim is forced to agree with the producer's comments and make censored changes to his script. Yes, it will be a completely different movie, but it will be. Returning home, Maxim discovers an extremely unusual phenomenon: instead of a mat in speech, he hears a piercing "piiip", and instead of naked body parts — black "patches" and a fuzzy image. And even alcohol has lost its taste and degree. It seems that Maxim has become the main source of censorship for himself.

A vida normal do zelador de um sanatório abandonado é perturbada pela chegada de um casal estranho que pede para ficar num dos quartos.

Quando ele surge, é atacado e ameaçado. Algum tempo depois, no meio de uma bebedeira, a mulher diz que seu filho de apenas dois anos havia morrido há pouco tempo e que seu marido está fugindo de seus antigos parceiros de crime - de quem ele havia roubado uma grande quantia de dinheiro.
