Description

At the beginning of the turbulent and unpredictable 90s in Moscow, two army friends meet: a student and a criminal businessman who came to Moscow to engage in a questionable medicine business. Things are going well, but the world of big culture—which has nothing to do with him—draws him in, and he decides to make up for his education with the help of his scholarly friend. Their audience becomes a car—a symbol of modern life. However, a chain of funny, and sometimes even ridiculous episodes inexorably leads to a tragic ending. The image and spirit of the times are conveyed so precisely in this work that it attracts readers of different generations.
