According to the story of Leonid Zhuhovitsky "Child for November".

Young woman living in a hostel. In November, apartments will be given to those who are most in need. To get an apartment a woman needs to have a baby by November. The girlfriend tries to help her accomplish this task, but all the men on whom an important mission is entrusted do not live up to their expectations. All but one are the most prosaic and at the same time the most reliable.

The plot of the painting unfolds in two time planes – in our time and in the 1930s. It is known that Stalin was very fond of cinema. Once upon a time, after watching Charlie Chaplin's Gold Rush, he decided that the Soviet country should begin gold mining, of course, by political forces. The Stalin movie mechanic was appointed chief of the gold mines at Kolyma, who began his work so fervently that he began to make bullets out of gold and received the Order of Lenin.

It's been over 70 years. Sometime during a walk in the park, a young journalist, Nikolai Vorotnitsky, came upon a corpse of a well-known businessman and politician. Next to the body lay the Order of Lenin, and the murder was committed by a golden ball. An independent investigation leads the journalist to a real killer – but he decides not to publish his name. Not even a huge monetary reward can convince the disclosure of the secret – it is not about money, but ethics.

The main character of the picture – actor Maxim Nesterenko, who plays cops in the series. He is forever in the second role, takes on any project to make some money, and knows that he is no longer jumping over his head. With Max's personal life, too, not very. He is divorced from his wife Marina, and now his girlfriend – the new star Snizhana – has betrayed him with his best friend. To top it all off, Max lost a lot of money in the cards and was still guilty. He promises to forgive Maxim the debt, if he fulfills the order – will take some case to the destination.

Maxim agrees, but on the way gets into an accident. He is rescued by a police officer Lemeshev passing by, but the law enforcement officer himself dies, exploding with Maxim's car. The circumstances are such that Maxim is taken for Lemeshev and Lemeshev – for Maxim, because they are similar in appearance. Besides, Lemeshev's opera just went to a new place of work, and nobody knows him there. Hiding from debt, Maxim temporarily becomes a cop.
