In 1960 a secret rocket launch occurred, preceding the first manned flight into space. The spacecraft is damaged before it enters the orbit and crashes in the remote, frozen part of the world. After he comes to his senses, he realizes that it is the year 2023, and he remembers almost nothing about his life before flying into space. His only memory is the image of a girl from the past. He knows her, but she doesn't know him...

In the story, Russian gymnastics champion Nastya quits her favorite sport due to a conflict with her coach. Unable to imagine life without victories, the girl goes to women's rugby. Max, who left boxing and mixed martial arts at one time, trains in the men's team of the same club. Everyone in their team is exploring the honest, uncompromising and brutal world of rugby.

A middle-aged man named Victor many years ago, he was forced to move to Italy to avoid persecution. Life is well established abroad: there is money, work is disputed, pasta carbonara, pizza abounds in mounds of parmesan. Despite this, Victor decides to return to Russia. The man had a wife and three children at home, who had grown inexcusably over the past 25 years, and his father was seen only in photographs from his mother's mezzanine. Victor's plan is as reliable as a Swiss watch: to establish relations with his offspring, to communicate with his wife and eliminate the man who caused the poor man's life to go downhill a quarter of a century ago. The family is discouraged by the sudden appearance of the priest. Sharp-tongued children do not accept him, but they quickly realize that daddy is rich, and each of them is awkwardly balancing on the verge of financial bankruptcy.
