Storyline
A musical-comedy drama, bringing the energy of a rock concert and portraying a message against conformism. The former front man of the once-loved rock band ‘Jiguli’, Fory, now writes pop-folk songs with disgust. After a fight with one of the singers, he stupidly leaves the band. But it turns out that after doing that, now he cannot pay the tuition fees for his talented daughter at the Royal Academy of Music in London. A wealthy, loyal fan of Fory, offers him a hefty paycheck, if his favourite band from his youth - ‘Jiguli’- plays at his 50th anniversary. This offer fully motivates Fory to bring back the band that once fell apart.
