Plot
The film is set in Moscow in 1974. At its center is Oleg, a weary-looking but charming actor with a deep voice, who works in radio. His last source of income—a radio play in which he portrays a Soviet spy—is suddenly canceled, and his wife kicks him out of the house. These setbacks, along with an encounter with Nikolaev, a celebrated writer and living classic, draw Oleg into a whirlwind of surreal events.[7]
