The story follows Viktor (Evgeny Tsyganov), his wife Lena (Ekaterina Vilkova), and their daughter Tanya. Viktor works as a repair technician for an emergency service, while Lena is a dispatcher. The family lives in an old country house they moved to after trading in their Moscow apartment. The first half of the film portrays the quiet, everyday life of the Bryantsev family: their jobs, household routines, interactions with neighbors (played by Alexandra Rebenok and Alexander Robak), and small joys. However, their peaceful existence is disrupted by the onset of the political crisis in the fall of 1993. Lena supports President Boris Yeltsin, while Viktor becomes critical of the government after the suspension of the Constitution. As the political turmoil escalates, so does the conflict between the couple. By the time of the October coup, Viktor and Lena find themselves on opposing sides of the barricades—both figuratively and literally. The climax of the film unfolds during the dramatic events of October 3–4, 1993. Viktor is drawn into the violent confrontations at the Ostankino TV center and the White House. Despite his reluctance to take part in the conflict, he is forced to navigate explosions, fires, and gunfire. The film meticulously recreates the atmosphere of those days, highlighting the stark contrasts between the opposing sides. Viewers witness opposition forces attempting to reach the besieged White House through sewer tunnels, while government supporters receive free meals on Tverskaya Street.
