Synopsis

Tanya is a History Faculty student, she is about to go to an archaeological expedition. Tanya's boyfriend, Maxim is a self-confident young man born with a silver spoon in his mouth who has great ambitions. He makes her proposal, but she asks him to wait with the wedding.

At first, Tanya is not very lucky in the excavations, but soon she finds a closed copper jug. It is a jug with Jinn inside. Tanya does not believe that in front of her stands a real Jinn and she jokingly calls him Tonic, Jinn Tonic. At first, Jinn also perceives Tanya and his alien world not seriously. He pushes the girl to make three wishes so that he can return home. The fact is that he was not successful in the School of Jinns - he was accused of insufficient cunning. So he stole the jug of the Supreme Jinn and went to the human world to prove his ability.

Tanya returns home with a jug. For a while, she believes that Tonic is haunting her until she is convinced that he has magical abilities. Tanya introduces Tonic to the present modern world and the guy tells her about the ancient world. They are filled with sympathy for each other.

Tanya`s Professor, he is a dark magician, finds out that Jinn is in the town. He manages to lure Tanya to his home and take away the jug. Tanya runs away, Tonic saves her from the chase. Maxim also finds out about Jinn and tries to reconcile with Tanya to capture Jinn for his purposes. Tanya and Tonic are getting closer to each other. Tonic likes our world more than the world of Jinnes. But after Tanya's last wish, he will have to return to the jug. Tanya decides not to hurry up with desire.

Maxim threatens Professor and demands to give Jinn's jug to him. Professor agrees with Maxim that after making three wishes, he will return the jug with Jinn to Professor. Maxim throws Tonic in the basement of his villa. He is refuses to make a wish, because he has agreed with some organization that he will sell Jinn to them for 10 billion dollars.

Professor, realizing that Maxim had deceived him, helps Tanya to release Tonic. With the last wish, Tanya moves herself, Tonic and wounded Professor to a safe place - where she found the jug the beginning. Maxim manages to jump into the closing portal. He threatens to shoot Tanya if Tonic does not obey him. Tonic tells Tanya that she has one wish left. The first wish was performed without magic. Tanya wishes Jinn to become human. Tonic turns into a human, but Maxim turns into Jinn. The new Jinn threatens to burn everything around and take over the world, but Tonic reminds him that even the most powerful Jinn is just a slave to a jug, and now Tonic is a jug`s owner.

A few months later: Tonic is a graduate student of archeology at Professor`s university and he is happy in marriage with his wife Tanya.
