Tatyana Somova

A day in the life of a typical character of Russian history, "the little man": a school teacher of Russian language and literature. An intellectual and his problems at the beginning of the 21st century. A day in the life of the country which Yesenin loved. About a country that still has hope...

Moscow, 1986, the heat of Perestroika. Borya is an average clumsy teenager who is miraculously admitted to the legendary Bolshoi Ballet School. The boy is convinced that he will become a ballet dancer like his father, Mikhail Baryshnikov. But is this father real or imaginary?

A young man's life is set in motion by his friend's suicide. He faces unpredictable circumstances, desperately trying to escape the Hood and start a new life. The Hood, however, holds onto him with suffocating love.

The year is 1994. Volodya Yakovlev, a graduate of the Higher school of Militia, is assigned to Rublevka. The operative always works in conjunction with the investigator, and that's how Yakovlev gets to know Gudkova — even then very strange, but not so lost to the world. Together they investigate important, but rather dubious cases — they are looking for a gang of pirates filming the second parts of cult action films, then they find out who stole the suitcase with the "MMM" tickets. Yakovlev's brother helps them in this, who knew as a teenager that he would have to work in the security service, and not in some kind of militia.
