A satirical comedy about bureaucrats in the Soviet Union of the 1950’s. The virtuoso bureaucrat Petukhov finds himself in an incredible situation: upon his return home together with his bride, he discovers that he has been proclaimed dead, and on completely legal grounds. The fact is that the body of a man who died in a car accident (a pickpocket who stole a wallet from Petukhov) was mistaken for Petukhov. In an attempt to prove his existence, the hero tries to obtain a certificate that he is alive using usual bureaucratic means.
