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.
