The court jester Ivan Balakirev is not afraid to speak out to the fearsome monarch about things that others remain silent about. Becoming involved in the festivities and jests encouraged by the ruler, he inadvertently gets entangled in court intrigues and the complex relationships within the family of Peter the Great.
Based on the novel The Gambler by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.
Vova is a young man. He is unable to find a common language with his family, because he believes that the whole world around him is just a fuss and a flurry. Being late for his younger brother's birthday, he finally quarrels with his family. Coming to the girl's aid in a street fight, Vova receives a blow that sends him into the world that Vladimir has been building so hard around himself. Are beliefs worth living?
The figure of Emperor Peter the Great, as well as the era of his formation and reign, still excites the minds of people all over the world. The creators answer the questions of how to take the throne when you are the fourteenth child in the family; how to win access to the sea when there is no professional army and navy in the country; how to bring a country that no one considered before into world leaders in a few decades, and many others.
