Plot synopsis
A quiet provincial town, where cops and bandits peacefully coexist, is shocked by an unexpected incident. A Mercedes belonging to a major gangster authority nicknamed the Old Man is shot up on the highway by unknown assailants. The Old Man was carrying a whole suitcase of money. The money disappeared. Everyone suspects everyone, but the main suspicion falls on a female doctor named Marina, who nobly picked up the wounded Old Man on the road.
Marina is an ordinary young woman with an unsettled fate, a doctor at a regional hospital, who finds herself in the center of a criminal showdown that is more reminiscent of a "comedy of errors": the inverted logic of the gangster world constantly pushes the participants in the events to make false steps. And in a situation that has become completely absurd, those who look at the world with "normal" eyes win: Marina and the Old Man's bodyguard, nicknamed Kolya-Moose, who took her side. It is they who get money, love and freedom in the finale.
