About the film

What it’s about

Two brothers leave prison hoping for an honest life, but a new scheme soon pulls them back in. They take on a job for the criminal authority Mikhalych, and what looks easy turns into a chain of mishaps that pushes them toward disaster.

What hooks you

Directed by Maxim Zykov, the film stars Fyodor Lavrov and Stepan Devonin as the brothers, with Viktor Bychkov as Mikhalych. The story blends unexpected twists with humor about good crooks and very good cops, suggesting that love can intervene when all seems lost.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys lighthearted crime capers where bumbling characters stumble through escalating trouble, and for viewers who like comedy with a warm, folk-tale feel.
