Synopsis
The Soviet Union is no more, but young Andrei (Andrei Goutine) leads a ring of thugs whose ideals blend communist principles, anti-Semitism and the hero-worship of Arnold Schwarzenegger. When Andrei learns that his own estranged father is a Jewish composer, he decides to find the man and kill him. But upon meeting his long-lost parent, the kindly Naoum (Oleg Borisov), Andrei is forced to rethink his hatred of Jews. Unfortunately, his murderous gang doesn't share this change of heart.
