In this gentle comedy, an unpopular resident in a Russian village has his life completely changed when he announces, entirely on a whim and just to upset things a bit, that he's moving to the Pacific coast. This news electrifies his small community, and he suddenly becomes the popular toast of the town, something he has never experienced before -- and likely never will again, because the movers are carting off his belongings, and he will be forced by the momentum of the events he has set into motion to board a bus headed east.
