Plot synopsis
1937 District committee meeting. The newly-made chairman, who replaced the recently planted first secretary, begins to applaud in honor of Comrade Stalin. He was immediately supported by the presidium along with a full house. But the storm of applause, periodically turning into applause, cannot stop in any way - everyone is exhausted, but everyone is afraid, and it seems that only a miracle can stop this madness.
