(NOTE: This review contains SPOILERS)Fedos is old, and expects to die soon. He has three sons: Andrey, Sashka and Vasya. The second son, Sashka, has been away from home for the last 15 years, and explains to a friend of his that, just like in the fairy tale, his father had three sons: the first,smart; the second, so-so and the last a complete fool. The father lives in a village which is about to be demolished while its residents will be re-located in apartment complexes. His youngest son, Vasya, drinks too much and does not have a happy relationship with his wife, Marusya. In fact she tells his father and then him that their daughter, Galya, is actually the offspring of an illicit union she had with Mishka, whom she really loves. This prompts Vasya to accompany her to the divorce office but on the way, he gets into an altercation that ends up costing him 15 days in jail. Sashka returns and is talked into marrying Vera, the local postmistress. Everyone except Vasya seems happy by the end, with the father saying 'sprochu' to the setting sun for having granted him his life. Of particular note are the comic interactions between Fedos and Timofey, another elderly resident of the village - they are truly hilarious. A humanistic, charming look at the lives and loves of people who, while not overly intelligent, at least have good hearts.
