Idiot
Story about return. From return of the documents to return to the life. Needless, idiotic - these are the unflattering words that Andrei says about himself. However thirty years of his life could become the script for a fiction film. Run away from an asylum, where he was locked with lifelong diagnosis "incapacity", he found himself in the capital - the same asylum of a bigger scale. Without documents and homeless, Andrei is seeking the right for free life. His route is between officials' offices and endless psychiatric examinations. His goal is to return capability.
Immersion
The theme of the film – new-wave rock-music in Russia. It is not written about it in magazines and in newspapers, this music is not broadcasted and shown on TV, but this music exists. And Nick Rock-n-Roll is searching for young rock-groups. He is very curios and he loves music very much. And he finds this group and they are talking about the independent rock-music in Russia. We can say that this 4 rock-groups who were shoot in the film – it’s one of a new indie (independent) generation. Deti Picasso, Bosh’s with you, The last tanks in Paris and Salvador. In this film, through the destiny of Nick Rock-n-Roll we look at a young rockers: they are living in another time, but in Soviet Union. Nick lived in USSR, in epoch when The Beatles and Shicking Blue all soviet man can hear just by stealth, from broadcast by the Voice of America. In that time a lot of nonconformist people were shuted in booby hatch and the main word of that epoch was «you mustn’t!», but those rockers thought that “all is possible” But they have a lot of problems – no less than had rock-musicians of a soviet period. Today you can have a talent and original style but also you should have the strength to break away format music and live in the plastic epoch of consumer goods.
Outro
