All vocations have champions in ardent love with them. One such was Ivan Andreievich Bazanov, Director of the Museum of Local Lore. Setting out in search of a hidden treasure, he lured along the people he chanced to meet. Nadya, the daughter of a railway guard, Nina Platonovna, the botanist who missed her bus, the students of the conservatoire with nowhere to spend the night, and Gulyayev, Bazanov's neighbor — all of them succumb to the lore researcher's bountiful and vivid imagination and join in his search for the country's riches. True friendship and true love proved to be their most valuable finds. Source : www.lenfilm.ru
