Description A football match between Dynamo Tbilisi and Dynamo Moscow is to take place soon. An avid football fan, accountant Kuchuczi (Ipolite Khvichia) asks his Tbilisi friend on the phone to send him a telegram that his mother-in-law has died and that he must come to the funeral. After receiving the telegram, Kuchuczi goes to the match. Already on the spot it turns out that there is no ticket. Having joined the marathon runners, he manages to get to the stadium. During this time, his co-workers see on the TV that the accountant is sitting in the stadium instead of burying his mother-in-law. In a few days, Kuchuczi is summoned to a peer court, where only die-hard fans gathered. (fdp.pl)
