The plot follows a down - on - his - luck
mechanic, Kolya (Aleksei Serebryakov), as he struggles to preserve everything that's dear to him; his home, his wife Lilya (Elena Lyadova), and his
friend Dmitri (Vladimir Vdovichenko), while going up against the town's corrupt mayor, the terrifically
Charles Laughton-esque Vadim (Roman Madyanov).
