A dark-skinned Cuban Rojelio and Elena from Vyatka backwoods met during their student years in Leningrad. The couple moved to Elena’s motherland, to Torfyanoy settlement after marriage. It wasn’t all perfect, but Rojelio Rodrigez thanks to his facetious temper and amiable disposition became more than just an ‘insider’ but also a participant of popular Vyatka comics-group «Okhalniki».
