The film tells about the most difficult period in the modern history of Russia - from the late 1980s and the "era of change" to the crisis end of the noughties - through the prism of people who made the most important economic decisions. But this is not a dry enumeration of facts, but an accurate and even unexpected portrait of economists who managed to keep an entire country from financial collapse, and in the center of this group portrait is Alexey Kudrin.
