Michael is an American who lives in Moscow and teaches children English. Each family loves and accepts Michael as their own: children love to play with him, parents invite him for a cup of tea and ask to read Pushkin. His life in Russia is like an obstacle course where he makes his way through a blizzard, defeats his student in Battleships, repels the grandmother with cognac and drowns in colored foam.
