URSS, 1938. Au pic de la Grande Terreur, Staline purge ses propres rangs. Les hommes qui mettent en œuvre la répression sont eux-mêmes arrêtés et exécutés. Se sachant à son tour condamné, le capitaine Volkonogov s’échappe. Dans sa fuite, il est frappé d’une vision : pour sauver son âme, il devra se confronter aux familles de ses victimes et obtenir leur pardon.

The year is 1941. Nazi Germany has declared war on the USSR and begins launching air assaults on Moscow and St. Petersburg. Stalin immediately orders a retaliatory air campaign under the code name “Wings over Berlin.” The closest entry point to Berlin from the USSR border was an airfield on the Estonian island Saaremaa in the Baltic Sea. It would be a 7-hour flight over enemy territory in outdated aircraft leaving no chance of survival for the tail crew members in case of attack. Despite overwhelming odds, the first units completed the mission and made it back to base safely, unlike many others that followed.

Teenagers celebrate graduation from an orphanage by spending all the money in two days. They rent a luxury cottage and arrange a real holiday. These two days are the time when dreams come true.

Petersburg at the end of the 19th century was embraced by a massive enthusiasm for the occult sciences and esotericism.

At this time, a series of ritual mysterious murders takes place in the city. Girls are abducted on the streets, their mutilated bodies are found in various parts of the city. The investigation is carried out by a young police officer Rostov and his assistant Ganin. With each new victim, things are becoming more confused. Suspicion leads Rostov to Olivia, and he decides to turn to her in the hope that her genuine or imaginary ability to summon the spirits of the dead can help to get on the trail of the killer.

Brother and son, it was only yesterday that he came back from the army. Only his sister is at home, his mother is wandering somewhere as usual. But the man, who has come back, has changed completely.

Having learned from his younger brother Pashka about the mysterious death of his father, Yegor returns to his native village after many years of absence.

Pashka is categorically against the slaughter of cows and the sale of land. A quarrel breaks out between the brothers. Yegor asks local guys to help take the cows to the neighboring village to the slaughterhouse, but Pashka is ahead of them, who, under cover of night, takes the whole herd in an unknown direction.
