A documentary about our contemporaries who appear as namesakes of famous literary heroes: Natasha Rostova, Andrei Bolkonsky, Anna Karenina, Yevgeny Bazarov, Tatyana Larina, Vladimir Dubrovsky, Pavel Chichikov, Alyosha Karamazov, Ivan Tsarevich and Alyosha Popovich. How is their destiny shaped in the 21st century? Is there in their character and worldview a resemblance to their illustrious namesakes? ... The characters answer the simplest as well as the most complex questions that have agitated our classical literature: what is the Motherland? What is love? What is the Russian character? For example, ordinary people with a "famous" name are not just people from another era, but even have difficulty trying to understand: what is the Russian man? And is he very different from the one of the time of Pushkin and Turgenev?
