Watching: Petlya Nesterova

Overview

In the early 1980s, the struggle for power intensified among the party elite of the USSR. Leonid Brezhnev's illness and total corruption have forced the security forces to choose what the future of the country will be. Ordinary people find themselves drawn into a merciless conflict between two departments, the KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, for power. One evening, a troubled teenager comes to the local police officer, senior police lieutenant Kirill Nesterov, with a suspicious package containing rare canvases by Russian artists. Kirill had no idea that this episode would become only the first step in a series of further events that would threaten not only his views on life, but also life itself!
