Vyacheslav Burlachk

Under the hoofs of a wild herd, a correspondent of a metropolitan newspaper dies. His girlfriend Kupava, (also a journalist), trying to find out the circumstances of the death of her colleague, becomes a witness to the conspiracy of the "first minister of the country" and the young deputy who are about to apply a new "scheme" of robbing their people.

A sickly man places a classified ad in which he offers a huge downtown loft apartment, utilities, food and eventual ownership of the flat with just one proviso: the couple who moves in must love each other so much that they can remain in the flat all day until the old man’s death. If one of them leaves, the deal is off. Enter the pale and auburn-haired Katya, a cellist who meets photographer Roman, a handsomely muscular young man.

He is the genius of industrial espionage. She is a Chinese. She has nothing, she does not even have a name. They love each other madly, but they belong to the system. Go away from the system can only be to the madhouse, or to the grave.
