«From sadness to joy» is the story of the friendly Trifonov family, several generations of which work at the local helicopter plant. The head of the family, Volodya, is a top worker, winner of amateur art competitions and simply a kind man with a sense of humour. One day shocking news comes into the family - the younger son Pashka falls in love with a woman from a paint shop, a mother with many children much older than him. The potential daughter-in-law, of course, does not suit the boy's parents.
