Sergei Stepanchenko

A film adaptation of A. Sukhovo-Kobylin’s work “The Case,” which reproduces the details of the author’s trial experience.

The film is dedicated to the little-known period of life of the great Russian composer P.I. Tchaikovsky. He appears before us not as a canonical gray-haired genius, recognized and crowned with world fame, but as a young, insecure man who comes to visit his sister for several summer days. Relatives and friends, “little people”, give the great artist love, care and spiritual support, helping him to find himself, to overcome “torture by the sounding world”. For them, as well as for the authors of the film, Tchaikovsky is an angel thrown to the ground, reminiscent of the ultimate mission of man ...

At night, the fountain retires, leaving only Pushkin's bronze shoulder, a place to cool a head weary from the day...

With Vovochka’s arrival at his country place on the eve of the New Year holidays, the life of that quiet suburban Moscow town blows up, in both literal and figurative sense…
