Synopsis

Spoiler shield

About the struggle for a new way of life. One of the residents of an old, dilapidated house receives a new apartment. But he can’t sleep in his new place: there are no bedbugs. The average person decides to fix the matter. Soon the new apartment turns out to be cluttered with all the accessories of bourgeois life. Bedbugs immediately appear. "Enough!" — the announcer’s voice is heard. A strong whirlwind clears the apartment of rubbish, and the tenant himself is thrown into the bathtub.
