Director’s statement
I read a story about a girl who hit a police officer with her car and called her boyfriend to get her out. “Ran down a little man” is her real phrase. I was struck by this story with its unfailing belief that you can get out of any situation in Russia, if you have the right connections. I wanted to simulate a situation where this unpunished evil will find a strong rebuff. At the same time, I did not want to go into drama and moralizing in the spirit of the film Major by Y. Bykov (it has a similar plot). On the contrary, I chose the genre of black comedy and populated it with the most vivid characters.
