Plot summary
[edit]Everything began with the shooting of the film. The famous producer of Soviet and Russian cinema made production of some episodes in Kaluga area of Russia. Then shooting of the film will continue in Berlin. In the evening, in a hotel room the producer reread the script. The story was the next.
Because of Perestroika, physicist Ivan Zhuravlev is unemployed, and must take a job in journalism instead. This puts him in contact with the head of the Chronos corporation – Boris Iossifovich Sytin (Zhuravlev calls him Ossi), who persuades him to participate in the illicit sale of osmium to the West. This affair ends tragically for Ivan Zhuravlev – he dies because of the intentional air crash.
Love to the girl was the best in the short life of Ivan Zhuravlev. Her name is Nastia. In their relationship something is from the famous movies by Claude Lelouch, who always glorifies man and woman created for each other.[1]
At the end of film script an epilogue was, in which producer read about his participation in this film. Producer astonished very much: at an earlier time, these pages were not in the script!
