Created by Fyodor Bondarchuk and Dmitry Tabarchuk

After the role of Lomonosov was given to another actor, Pavel decides to take another swing at a significant role — Chekhov. Derevyanko believes that he will be able to receive critical acclaim for his serious dramatic image. As soon as the filming of the film about Anton Pavlovich begins, it turns out that the playwright's great-granddaughter Margarita Vasilyevna lives in Taganrog, which prohibits making films. Pavel returns to his hometown to convince the heiress. However, for the sake of the coveted role, he will have to solve all the conflicts of her family.
