PLOT
A man recalls his childhood in the late 1930s. Uncle Godfather was a favourite of the children - a trickster and combiner, full of kindness, warmth of heart and affection for them. All the time he lives in the world of illusions, builds fantastic plans for getting rich quick, tells fictional heroic stories, but in the game room, behind the roulette, he says goodbye to his hopes. In plot and atmosphere, the film is a kind of sequel to the musical My Father the Painter, created by the same authors in 1974.
