Он только что спас жизнь бизнесмену, прикрыв его свои телом и получив при этом ранение. Он только что ушел от жены, застав ее в постели с любовником. И он не мог не выполнить задание своего босса – начальника частного охранного агентства. Но когда Стас нехотя согласился возглавить охрану дома дочери влиятельного и богатого человека, он еще не знал, как круто именится его жизнь! Дом, за порядок и покой в котором он отныне отвечал, жил своей размеренной спокойной жизнью: разве что мальчишки за забором взорвут петарду или напугают сторожа дядю Петю "приведением" из простыни. Немногочисленная обслуга отнеслась к Стасу внимательно и заботливо. Вот только садовница Светлана как-то в штыки воспринимала все нововведения охранника. Правда, очень быстро неприязнь переросла в хорошие отношения, а те – в любовь.

Lenfilm's most recent major production spins a kind of historical fantasy based on real incidents that's full of ominous implications for today. One night, a patrol rushes into the chambers of the Russian prince Pavel, son of the Empress Catherine; the Empress has died, and Pavel is to be anointed the new Tsar. Thought to be feeble-minded at best and crazy at worst, Pavel soon lives up to his enemies' fears: he dismisses long-serving courtiers, demands that peasants only work three days a week, and declares that state officials should start their days at 5 am. Soon, it seems that everyone who can is trying to hatch some kind of plot against him - including his own sons. Sumptuously designed, POOR POOR PAVEL constrasts the imperial splendor of the court with the sordid atmosphere of conspiracies and backstabbing that comes to define these characters' lives.
