Overview
The year is 1979. The apartment of a famous ballerina has been robbed in Moscow. The housekeeper was killed, the intruders fled. Investigator Anokhin offers his friend, journalist Yeltsov, to help in the search for criminals. At the same time, a high-profile bank robbery is taking place in Yerevan, which is being carried out by a specially released bear swallowtail. At first glance, the two cases seem completely unrelated. Plunging deeper into the investigation, special correspondent Yeltsov realizes that he has found a conspiracy, the bloody threads of which stretch to the highest echelons of power.
