Tsanko, a railroad worker in his fifties, finds banknotes on the railroad track he is in charge of maintaining. Rather than keeping them, the honest man prefers to give them back to the State, which, as a sign of gratitude, organizes a ceremony in his honor and offers him a watch... which does not work. Tsanko has only one desire: to get back the old family watch that was not returned to him. Then begins an absurd struggle with the Ministry of Transport and its public relations department led by the formidable Julia Staikova.
