Plot:

Action of the film Holy shit! takes place in the late 80s, in one of the coastal cities of the USSR. The main character of the film, thirty-six-year-old Nikolai Nikolaevich Knyazev, is a man who is said to be "out of this world." He does not smoke, does not drink, and has not been noticed in any relationships (including sexual ones) that would discredit him.

By profession, Knyazev was a TV repairman, and by vocation, a philosopher, and associated himself with the Dutch philosopher Benedict Spinoza. One day, the folk thinker Knyazev came up with the idea of building an ideal state.

Nikolai Nikolaevich devotes all his free time to developing his idea, he embodies it on paper, and soon, as a result of titanic work and sleepless nights, his thoughts materialize on the pages of eight common notebooks.

The main idea of the philosopher Knyazev was the idea of selfless service of each person to the state. Nikolai Nikolaevich considered everything that does not benefit the state to be useless. Even on a day off, as the newly-minted Spinoza believed, a person should be engaged in improving his professional level, and not waste time on some fishing, cinema or zoo, and even worse, spend time with a bottle.

Knyazev tries to convey his idea to all his acquaintances or first comers, but everywhere he receives misunderstanding. One day Spinoza pestered a proletarian he happened to know with his moral teachings on how to spend a day off.

The worker rightly believed that on his legal day off he could allow himself to drink a little, for which he was sharply criticized by Knyazev. The "class" struggle ended in the police, and sadly for Benedict - he was fined ten rubles.

Another time, Knyazev brought a visiting stuntman to his home. But the young man did not listen to even a few minutes of Knyazev's eight-notebook teachings, and suggested that they go to his place and have a few drinks.

Depressed by the general lack of understanding of his brilliant ideas in the field of government, Knyazev is also engaged in another project - the development of a perpetual motion machine, hoping that at least this will bring him glory. Knyazev's sister, Klava, worried that her brother is not like everyone else, is trying to set him up with his neighbor Lyuba, her son Vovik is the only one with whom Nikolai Nikolaevich is friends.
But all of Lyuba's attempts to attract attention to herself end in failure; for Knyazev, the first thing was to take care of the state, and women came later.

The culmination of the film is the episode when Knyazev comes to the post office to send his works to the Academy of Sciences, but Lyuba, who worked at the post office, asks Knyazev not to rush with his decision.

Having received a refusal, Knyazev immediately became furious and began to insult Lyuba, and then the head of the post office. For his prank, Nikolai again ends up in the police. Seeing that Knyazev is not drunk at all, the local police officer calls an ambulance, but the psychiatrist also recognizes him as completely healthy.

Dejected by the final failure of his brilliant idea, Knyazev goes to the sea to drown himself. But this venture also ended in failure, Spinoza was saved by young people resting on the shore.

The rescue helped Knyazev to look at life differently, he decides to forget about the problems of the state and the perpetual motion machine for a while, and like all normal people, get married and start a family...
