Boredom brings him home, and then it turns out that Arkady does not drink. He doesn't drink, and the reason is in his past. This is followed by the usual pictures of permanent alcoholism for Zhanna. Arkady in all these scenes shows the features of a mysterious man from nowhere, holding himself with unprecedented dignity and refusing alcohol. Zhanna also retains something human in her eyes, despite constant swearing and drunkenness. Everything becomes clear when they visited Leningrad together. There Arkady a former alcoholic and hard worker, who was in prison for a fight - learns that his wife and children have abandoned him. He gets drunk, and Zhanna carefully takes him back and begins to nurse him.
