Two men, so different from each other in their life beliefs, political views and careers, find themselves connected by a church relic - a Christian cross, given to Tsarevich Nicholas. One of them is a convinced communist, the other believes in God. While one was building a political career, the other was learning the delights of a children's prison. Their stories are filled with pain, joy, bitterness and shame. But the cross traveled a long way from the Mount of Olives to the Primorsky Territory. It was buried, kept in repositories of pagan relics, torn from churches and erected. Cross has seen many along the way, but these two will become important figures for him... Contains obscene language.
