Sergei Sholokhov

The film is dedicated to the artistic journey of director Alexei Uchitel, who began as a documentary filmmaker (“Rock”, “Obvodny Canal”), made a name with his debut feature films “Giselle’s Mania”, “His Wife’s Diary”, distinguished himself with experimental films “The Stroll”, “Dreaming of Space”, “Tsoi” and multi-budget “The Edge” and “Mathilde”. In the film dedicated to his 70th anniversary, when it is already possible to formulate some results, his favorite artists will help to reveal the endless variety of his creative palette: Yu. Shevchuk, O. Budina, E. Tsyganov, G. Tyunina, E. Mironov, V Mashkov, Y. Peresild, D. Kozlovsky, I. Vernik, S. Garmash. The film uses archival materials of the author, who visited (with a camera) almost all the film sets of his protagonist, whose comments on his new projects will speckle the whole film.

Five passengers - the Bandit, his friend Matvei, Matvei's old father, the Musician, and a young woman - race along an empty road in a big black jeep, searching for the Belfry of Happiness which, according to hearsay, lies somewhere between St. Petersburg and the town of Uglich, near a deserted nuclear power station. The Belfry takes people, but it does not take everyone. Each of the five passengers believes that he or she will be chosen.

Nobody likes to be made a fool of, especially no the mafia. So, when it comes to light that a number of men from The Mob in New York have fallen for a Russian mail-order bride, who has blatantly ripped each of them off, their boss is not impressed. In fact, Tony Santini thinks the only way to prove that you shouldn't mess with the mob is to send his nephew to Russia to bring back the beautiful but manipulative Nina.

Satirical mockumentary by Sergei Kuryokhin and Sergei Sholokhov, trying to prove an absurd sensationalist point - that Vladimir Ilych Lenin was, in fact, a mushroom!
