The thief, the robber, the grabber, the crook, the scoundrel, the crook - all this is the title of the heist comedy with the main "hero" Lupyn, who returns to his hometown after his release from prison. No sooner has he warmed up in freedom than he is already planning his next job with his cronies, who have previously exchanged him for suspended sentences. The pandemic is playing into his hands, an exceptional situation in which the rules that have applied until now do not apply. The usurer Asasin, together with a corrupt local policeman, tries to find out who is doing harm in their area and make the most of it for themselves. Lupyn, in turn, needs money to start a new life with his love Tamara, and gradually becomes entangled in a spiral of lies and absurd situations.
