"Kheifetsa" - this is how we call in Gitis slang those who
graduated from the workshop of Leonid Efimovich Kheifets.
The last of the Mohicans, one of the most important Russian directors of the end of the twentieth - beginning of the twenty-first centuries, master, teacher.Student himself of Knebel and Goncharov. Arbuzov and Zorin called him "the young man" ... Ravenskikh and Andrei Popov were friends with him. Oleg Borisov, Sergey Shakurov, Alina Pokrovskaya worked with him ... Today we can confidently say that there is a Kheifetz school. And how many stars today proudly say: I am a pupil of Leonid Efimovich! Derevianko, Petrov, Pal, Ardova, Tolstoganova ... What did he teach them?
Retrace the philosophy of the Kheifetz school from the first steps of its children to their success on stage, in the cinema, in life ... Yes, and in life. Because Kheifetz's principles not only help to exist in the profession, but also to survive in everyday life, because those who went through his hard school (i.e., love for his students forced him not to spare them in his studies), come out stronger. His lessons, his vision of the world are broader than a simple profession. The film shows how he conveys his values to his students, and how this affects their destiny.
