Peter, Anton and Kira are three bosom friends whose youth fell in the early sixties of the last century, the era of the heyday of dudes and expectations of freedom. The Fourth Counterintelligence Directorate has been abolished, Yevtushenko’s “Babi Yar” has been written, Solzhenitsyn’s “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” has been published, literary readings are gathering stadiums... but the country needs unknown heroes, “humor specialists” who will come up with and launch jokes to the masses. The thinking layer of society needs to let off steam, so let them tell each other jokes and laugh... Three comrades become those very “humor specialists”, it all starts as a funny game, it seems not to be taken seriously, but who knows what each of them will have to sacrifice for service to the state...This is how Vasily Aksenov could have written his “Star Ticket” if he had lived to this day!
