This series stands over the edge of the abyss into which Russian cinema will then fly away. Behind him are films flooded with light and optimism, the mood of which fades from the lack of realism. Below is a crater of negativity, hatred and anger.
Therefore, there are many outwardly socialist positive characters in the film, who turn out to be soulless scoundrels, and socially unreliable ones turn out to be open and honest personalities. But the majority will remain suspicious, rigid and negatively disposed towards the main character.
Actually, the main character Sergey Krasheninnikov is a law student trying to uncover the death of a girl by the lake. In previous series, he was a schoolboy, but always gravitated towards justice.
Now, during the investigation and the collection of testimony, he faces opposition at all levels. One of the suspects in the failure to provide timely medical care to the deceased turns out to be a successful doctor who was vacationing nearby. By coincidence, he is the boss of the bride of the main character.
Using his connections, he tries to influence the investigation. The film once again reveals the problem of informal ties, nepotism and hidden intrigues in Soviet society, for the sake of petty gain. As well as attempts to evade responsibility when the victim is already dead, but there is no premeditated murder.
Other suspects (because of whom the girl ended up at the lake) are also trying to influence the main character.
Not having a state title, but being only an intern, the main character cannot use power against these people.
The film is not completely negative and black, but it has already been shifted to the sector of grayness and twilight.
But its interesting to follow the events of this flick.
