Plot
[edit]In Class 8A, there is an ordinary boy named Lyosha Zhiltsov. In the class, everyone considers themselves a "personality," but Lyosha seems unremarkable. One day, a new student, Zhenya Karetnikova, joins the class — a calm, smart, and serious girl. Lyosha becomes friends with her, and through their interactions, he gradually realizes that his troubles stem from his own laziness and unwillingness to improve himself.
Lyosha begins to work on himself, becoming stronger, braver, more diligent, and resourceful. Eventually, he faces a moment where he must demonstrate these new qualities. During a relay race, his class team competes, and Lyosha has to step in for a teammate who is unexpectedly unable to participate. Thanks to Lyosha’s efforts, his team wins the race.
