Plot synopsis
The film is dedicated to director Alexei Balabanov and his latest film "I want too". Work on the film began two years before Alexei Balabanov's death as a chronicle of the making of his film "I want too". Filming continued after his death even when the Bell Tower collapsed without taking the hero of his last film into the world of Happiness. "Almost ten years after Balabanov's death, this film is a tragic testimony to the life and death of an uncompromising author, a director who still remains essential for today's Russia," remarks Lyubov Arkus .
