Plot

[edit]

In Uzhhorod, located in the Zakarpattia region of the Ukrainian SSR, shortly after the end of World War II, a former butler named Bohdan Susyk reappears. Susyk had served the count of the Schönborn family, who fled with the retreating German occupiers. Only Susyk knows about a hidden stash where the count concealed his treasures before escaping. Meanwhile, a local operation to clear mines from the surrounding areas, remnants of wartime combat, is underway.

The village youth plans to create a new orchard by demolishing the ruins of the old Schönborn castle. Unbeknownst to them, Susyk sneaks into the castle ruins to search for the hidden treasure. However, an explosion occurs while he is inside. As he escapes the wreckage, Susyk discovers a chest containing the count's "treasures," which turn out to be pre-war securities from the Third Reich and German companies. These papers are now completely worthless in the post-war era. The sappers who arrive on the scene sum it up: "Millions, but only in the past."
