Plot

[edit]

The day that the financial clerk Metodi Rashkov retires finally arrives. He is a shy and quiet man and he accepts all tasks given to him by his son and daughter-in-law without argument. With time, he becomes a housekeeper; he shops, cooks and looks after his grandson. In order to save face in front of his friends he lies to them and becomes embroiled in a variety of uncomfortable situations. The "explosion" is imminent. Rashkov leaves his home. Soon the freedom which he wanted becomes boring for him. The abandoned family begins to miss the grandfather. Eventually everyone acknowledges their mistakes and make amends.
