The film is set against the backdrop of the August 1991 coup d'état. The nephew of a KGB general makes amateur movies with his uncle's wife, and there is no doubt that he is destined for a career as a diplomat.
There are mixed feelings after the film and it leaves you thinking for a while. Maybe not everyone will be able to understand it.
But thanks to one of the main characters, Oleg Sergeyevich.
Who reveals himself in a special way in the film, gives us a chance to think.
He has his own special view of the world - a view from above. He knows everything, what was before, what will be after, he sees the whole world and the whole country at the same time, he understands all the difficulties and is puzzled why people are so picky.
Generations like this are an unforgettable era. They grew up in one country and live in another. The hero of the film is also the kind of person willing to jump from one train to another-imagine him in the 2000s. It's not true that his fate was so glorious that he was able to reach the position of power he has today. As a rule, these are people from the 1990s. Either they became successful oligarchs themselves, or they served these people closely and reliably. They stepped aside and even moved away from the state. But then somebody took a step back.
So for reflection and pondering, I advise to watch
It is up to you to decide what you will see in this film for yourself.
