Plot
In the middle of the 17th century, a Cossack named Almaz Bitiy saves an alien from a certain death. In gratitude, he gives the Earthman an elixir of youth. By constantly using the elixir, Almaz and his girlfriend Milica live until the 20th century. The time has come to regain youth, and Almaz returns to the city of Great Guslyar, where the secret means is kept. However, the mystery is revealed, and several residents of the city have the opportunity to experience the action of the "Martian Potion".
