Overview

Nikolai Videnin is a failed film director who is forced to work in a regular video store in Leningrad. One day, Nikolai accidentally turns on an "adult film" for schoolchildren, for which he first goes to court, and then to a colony settlement. There he gets the nickname Vidik and now, instead of pressing the "Play" button on the VCR, the guy has to cut down the forest from morning to evening.
