A creative flight. The film script, based on Mikhail Bulgakov's works.


Morning. A five-star hotel.


There are mountains outside the window.


An assistantess comes in, from a nearby hotel room.


A cup of coffee. The assistantess launches a film about a heroic time. The monumental epic film. The cinema masters of the past - they knew how to shoot!


The film director fills himself good.


A comfortable car. The film set.


"Motor!" People with heroic faces (actors) walk and talk against the background of the mountains.


The Sun is getting higher and higher. It's getting unbearably hot.


That's all - for today!


The local bank. "Is there a convertible currency?" (The making of the film is not an easy task. The costs are large and varied.)


A returning to the hotel. The air conditioner is working. There are plans to visit local historical sites.


A glance - out the window. A glowing dot rushes across the sky. A rumble. An explosion.


New glowing dots appear at the sky...


"What is this?! Where's the movie camera?!!" There will be shots for a history, for a cinematography.


There will be an epic movie. As predecessors - the masters of filmmakering, - did.


"No, I need to stop!!! I ought to phone the Ministry of Culture!!!"


There is some kind of gurgling sound in the receiver of the satellite phone. The words slip by: "... Stay close..." "... follow the instructions exactly...".


A knock on the door of the hotel room. A man in a suit, white shirt and tie enters. "I'm from the embassy! Urgent evacuation! Buses are waiting near the hotel!"


What kind of evacuation? Could it be a scammer? (If) they will throw me - about (concerning) money, (then) I will have to go to the local authorities... To issue endless explanations ...


His gaze slides over the man in the suit.


There is a badge on the lapel of the jacket. The badge depicts Alexander Griboyedov (Russian Ambassador in Persia, a famous Russian writer, - in distant past).


"This man is from ours! The patriot he is!"


"Everyone pack up and get on the buses!"


The group of management takes seats on the first bus. Is everyone immersed?


The maintainer (the man in the suit) hurries: "Quickly, quickly! If anyone falls behind, we'll deliver them later!"


A furious ride (by the bus) towards the state border of a friendly republic.


A maintainer (from the embassy) approaches with the question: "They call me and ask: is the suitcase with the film footage with you?" "Yes!"


The bus slows down, a little. The driver saw in the rearview mirror that the second bus had fallen behind. "Maybe we should to return up to the second bus? Who knows what is happen?"


The maintainer (from the embassy) phones into the lagging bus. "The breakdown is happened! We're not car mechanics. They'll arrive later!"


"During the heroic times, not everybody everyone was evacuated from the Peninsula simultaneously. Although these events weren't filmed on a movie camera..."


The state border. People in civilian clothes and in military clothes. They look kindly. "Was your trip successful? Do you feel yourselves good?"


'They skillfully managed everything... in two weeks... How would it look like in the form of a movie? No! Now there are other tasks, other plans!'


The bus pulls up to a plane. The bus passengers board the plane.


The question from the maintainer (from the embassy): "They call me and ask: is the suitcase with the film footage with you?" "Yes!"


An airport. The smiles. The hugs. A pretty figures from past, from present, from future.


The maintainer reminds: " They are waiting you - at the Council on financing of Patriotic films!! Get in the car now!"


A fast driving, with an escorting car.


A question from the maintainer: "They call me and ask: is the suitcase with the film footage with you?" "Yes!"


"Now I would like to watch the epic movie about a heroic time. An epic movie - that's I need, to enjoy with. To feel myself good. And ... It's time to have a nice cup of coffee."
