The film tells how, in an extremely difficult political situation — between two crises, the Berlin and the Caribbean, the Benny Goodman Orchestra arrived in the Soviet Union. For the Soviet people in 1962, it was a tremendous breakthrough both in the relationship between the countries and in the opportunity not only to hear jazz music, which was semi-forbidden in those years, but also to see and get to know real Americans.

Our eternal theme is crime and punishment. In Boris Godunov, the problems of conscience and existential choice are linked to the history of the country. Pushkin says that these things are woven into a mysterious knot or pattern. The choice of each of us is also the choice of our own history.

The peculiarity of the performance "Two Women" by Vladimir Mirzoev on the Lenkom stage is in the specially developed plasticity of the characters. They seem to be in a somnambulistic state, either awake, asleep, existing, or not. In parallel with Turgenev's text, on counterpoint, the director unfolds his visual range, which enters into an obvious contradictory relationship with the words of the classic. The interaction of the characters on stage is absolutely independent of the author's remarks. Thus, Mirzoev visibly shades the intimate, to some extent Freudian motifs he saw in the play. However, Turgenev's text and Mirzoev's plastic searches turn "Two Women" into a curious stage experiment, rather unexpected for the aesthetics of Lenkom.

Almost everyone knows Daniil Kharms now. It is known that he composed this pseudonym for himself, as he composed his paradoxical poems, stories, plays and especially cases - that's what he called miniatures, the humor of which was obvious, but the meaning did not reach everyone. The life of the fictional Kharms was amazing, mocking and bravely independent. Daniil Yuvachev's life has become a true tragedy.
