Everyone goes mad in their own way, but the household of Sonya Barhatova has outdone everyone else! Judge for yourself: Mom is obsessed with anti-aging and at seventy looks thirty-five, Dad-professor has completely lost it and “lives” in the fictional country of Ho, and the brother has fused into one whole with the computer!
So Sonya runs off on vacation when her friend Dasha Vasilyeva agrees to keep an eye on this cheerful family. But the moment the mistress steps over the threshold, the sister of the odd professor arrives with a disabled daughter. Turns out Sonya shoved her cousin off the balcony many years ago! Then a crowd of long-time sworn friends of the Barhatovs shows up — supposedly witnesses to an old crime. Dasha’s “charges” instantly multiply, because the uninvited guests take her for a maid!
And how is a fan of private investigation supposed to figure out where the truth is and where the lie is in these conditions?
To make matters worse, it turns out Sonya’s brother knows the computer not only as a monitor — he’s fallen in love with a girl and plans a romantic arrival on a white horse. But to mount that treacherous saddle… only Dasha managed it!
