In the fictional town of Podmoskovsk, three young guys rent an apartment: Shurik, a shy and unassuming guy, and his friends, Zhora - a "top-tier entrepreneur" - and their laid-back buddy Platon. The trio also has a wonderful neighbor - Shurik's four-legged friend, Sharik, an English Bullterrier who never lets his friends get bored. The characters find themselves in recognizable but absurd situations. They have to deal with job hunting, first love, money-making problems, visits to the doctor, and even a meeting with fellow graduates.
