Yegor's Grief

Director

Mariya Makhanko

Year

2008

Yegor is in trouble. He borrowed money to produce young talents, but those young talents, after using him, left for another music producer. Now Yegor must either return the money to the glamorous gangster Maximilian by the end of the week or present him with a new talented star — otherwise, he’s finished. Realizing that in such a short time he will find neither the money nor a star, Yegor flees Moscow “wherever his eyes lead him” and ends up in a backwater town called Glukhomanye. There, through deception, he gains access to a floating pier belonging to a fishery inspection officer named Stepanych, where he plans to lie low while he figures out what to do next.
