Plot

Poltava resident Lyudmyla Dobryvechir tries become an announcer on television but does not pass the audition because of her terrible diction. She dreams of becoming a flight attendant on the Tu-104 — but this also does not come to pass. Now Lyudmyla is once again preparing to enter the ensemble "Ballet on Ice". She compensates the lack of ice with training on roller skates and temporarily finds work as a tanker at a gas station. Not everything works out for the new worker, but cheerful disposition and resourcefulness help her not only to master a new specialty, but also radically rebuild the industry of the entire gas station.
