Synopsis

Anatoliy Kuzmich Korolyov, who has worked at a Moscow factory all his life, receives a new apartment in a new section of the city and retires. He looks forward to enjoying his leisure with his wife, Tatyana Ivanovna; to reading, visiting museums, and attending the theater. Their plans are disrupted, however, when their only daughter, Lyusya, an architect, unexpectedly marries a coworker, Igor, and makes plans to move away from home. The young couple are persuaded to share the new apartment, but though the arrangement begins comfortably, the parents find that their peace and quiet quickly evaporate in the close company of the newlyweds and their friends. Then, a new baby arrives. The young parents plan to place him in a nursery, but Anatoliy and Tatyana insist upon looking after him, considering Lyusya and Igor to be children still themselves. After a falling-out between the generations, Anatoliy and Tatyana go away for 3 weeks, forcing the young couple to manage alone with the baby and the housework. Lyusya and Igor come to understand that they have taken much for granted, but with a new appreciation of the parents' contribution comes the realization that the time has come to move out on their own.
