After a touching meeting with his daughter, they begin hitchhiking throughout America, full of comedic situations and adventures.
He ends up in prison for kidnapping and the former spouse visits him and offers a deal - he will be released if he signs the official refusal of the child. Alexey does not agree to abandon his daughter.
