An almanac of short feature films based on stories by Mikhail Mishin from the collection of short stories "Pause in a Major".

A story about the tragic events in the life of besieged Leningrad from September 1941 to January 1943.

"Iskra" is the codename for the plan of the operation of the Soviet troops to break the blockade of Leningrad. In January 1943, the blockade of Leningrad was broken. A corridor 8-11 km wide was formed between Lake Ladoga and the front line.

Médecin chef et spécialiste du cerveau, Youri Glinski est également général de l'Armée rouge. 1953 : sa vie de père de famille bascule quand, à l'initiative de Staline, le KGB organise le complot des blouses blanches. Il est envoyé au goulag et torturé. Mais lorsque le Petit père des peuples se meurt, Youri est libéré pour le sauver.

In the center of the plot is a senior investigator named Masha Shvetsova and her male colleagues. The plot is the most vital, but, like in “Streets of Broken Lanterns,” it is seasoned with a fair amount of humor - otherwise, how can the audience (and the heroes) endure countless morgues, identifications and other “cute” charms of the investigative routine?
