The State Counsellor

This film is not about Oleg Yankovsky in the usual sense: not a biography of a great actor, not a review of roles. And not the sharp facts from his personal life. Although it's all in the film: a dramatic fate, unknown pages of biography. Like any great actor, he possessed a secret - he did not tell both in the movies and in life. But his main gift was not even acting. Yankovsky was talented at making people fall in love with him. I wanted to look at him again and again: that's why they loved him and still love him.

Late 1988 – early 1989: a time when psychics packed full halls; they performed live on radio and on central television channels. A time when the confrontation between Nikolai Arbenin and Viktor Stavitsky reaches its climax...
