Asya Volodina’s novel (“Protagonist”), based on a script by Ekaterina Tirdatova for the TV series “Cicadas.”
A party celebrating the end of school ends in a murder. The investigator, the headmistress, the parents, and the students themselves try to understand what led to this tragedy. But the more the investigator delves into the story, the clearer it becomes: the teachers are far from school life, the parents know nothing about their children, and children can be cruel. Why do yesterday’s friends poison you so easily today?
