Third-grader Alesha Ptitsyn, a little schoolboy from Moscow, decides to radically change his life; do self-education, to get rid of the guardianship of strict parents and a scattered grandmother, to live according to a strict routine and not to succumb to temptation. Having created a new schedule of the day, Alyosha starts a new life; he wakes up and gets up by himself, does his morning exercises and goes to school. At this time, Alesha's grandmother at the station misses her childhood friend, who came to stay with her granddaughter. Alesha who accidentally meets them, decides to hold a city tour of Moscow for the guests in order to restore in their eyes a true representation of the hospitable Muscovites and to correct the misstep of his grandmother.
