Celebrities remember Mikhail Zhvanetsky, with some of the unique footage from rehearsals and his home also featured. This is more than just a tribute: it is a concert film where Sergey Makovetsky, Yuri Stoyanov, Igor Zolotovitsky, Ilya Sobolev, Kristina Babushkina, Pavel Derevyanko, Sergey Zhilin, Stanislav Duzhnikov, Vladimir Vdovichenkov, Nastasya Samburskaya, Lyudmila Artemyeva, Nikolay Valuev, Sergey Zhilin, and Gleb Kalyuzhny breathe new life into the iconic author’s best monologues.

An ironic drama unfolds in a cramped recording studio: a failed actor with a velvety voice and an empty wallet voices a book about easy money and successful success, "Deep Vessel", until he explodes from the absurdity and stupidity of what he is reading. His hysteria develops into a conflict with the sound engineer, where both realize the bitterness of their unfulfilled hopes. For a moment they wonder: maybe they are the losers, and the book's nonsense is the truth?
