A court session is underway. The facts of violations and embezzlement at a small plant are being examined. The chief engineer of the enterprise, Chistukhin, takes all the blame upon himself. At first glance, the plant director appears to be uninvolved in the crime. Gradually, we realize that she is not entirely innocent.

Based on the short stories by V. Shukshin: A Tough Guy, I Believe, and Suraz.

A television film based on the famous production by the Bolshoi Drama Theater is yet another interpretation of Chekhov’s “boring story” — about the life of an intelligent and conscientious Russian man, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky, “lost” in the rural backwater.

The film ballet based on the play by Bernard Shaw "Pygmalion" to the music of Timur Kogan. For the first time, an attempt was made to translate the play into the language of choreography. And although the musical “F. My Fair Lady” was taken as the basis, the choreographer D. Bryantsev and director A. Belinsky offered a completely original interpretation of the famous work - classical ballet dancers act as real dramatic actors.

Among the greenery of the parks of St. Petersburg, the white dress of a beautiful stranger flashes. Together with the prototype of the poet, and other characters - visitors to the restaurant - we wander around the city, go to restaurants, to the train station, to a reception in a rich and noble house. And everywhere we meet her. A stranger.

This musical film explores the origins of Russian opera at the Kirov Theatre and a deep commitment to the finest traditions of the operatic art.
