Based on the play by Ivan Karpenko-Kary.
The plot focuses on Terentiy Puzyr. He is a modern dollar multimillionaire, the owner of an agricultural holding, who considers himself the “master” of the region and human destinies. He manipulates and intimidates people because he wants to maintain his influence and increase his wealth, and he stubbornly continues to be faithful to his old approaches, despite the fact that the world around him is changing. The bubble does not notice that he has surrounded himself with people as unscrupulous as himself, who are ready to betray him at any moment. But will he realise his mistakes in time and be able to change?
