Nostalgia for times that have already become history. The author describes the atmosphere of the era and the internal state of the characters so realistically that you believe him immediately and unconditionally. Mid-sixties. The famous film director Roman Voronov's daughter was kidnapped. The incident is unheard of and outrageous! The criminal’s demand looks no less ridiculous. To get the girl back alive and unharmed, Voronov must, by a certain date... film Gogol’s story “The Nose”. And - under no circumstances notify the police. Realizing that he is dealing with a dangerous psychopath, Roman reluctantly gets to work. He does not yet know that the upcoming premiere will require new victims... A unique opportunity to temporarily return to the recent past and, in a sense of complete reality, live with the heroes the most desperate period of their lives.
