1950. In the vicinity of Pskov, filming is planned for a historical film. But tragedy strikes on the very first shoot day: the film’s director dies right on set, poisoned.
The investigation is assigned to the head of the operations department, Major Pavel Zverev. He interviews witnesses and finds out that almost every actress in the film group had a serious reason to resent the amorous genius. However, this version is dismissed by new murders that follow the first. Zverev comes to the conclusion that the killer isn’t a wronged actress at all, but a calculating, cold-blooded butcher…
A unique opportunity to return to one of the most vivid periods of Soviet history—during the post-war years. Real people, real criminal cases, and thrilling plot twists.
Characters that resemble iconic images from the film “Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed.” The spirit of the time, tenderly preserved in many families. Unusually and realistically shown “the kitchen” of everyday work of Soviet police.
