He takes her to Denmark, builds a house for her, and dreams of listening to Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev with her. But Varinka doesn’t love music, and they somehow do not find a common language, as there was supposed to be an elephant in her life, but she got a hippopotamus instead, which ate her beloved, but that is a completely different story. Hannibal and Varinka's daughter, rumored to have extrasensory abilities, falls in love with a pigeon tamer! And their grandchildren, twins, choose creative professions: Esther becomes an artist, while Olga becomes an opera diva. The elder sister of the twins, Philippa, is concerned with becoming the first female cosmonaut before illness takes her life.
