Annotation
The plot of the film takes place in 1980, the day the Olympic Games were closing. Boris is an avant-garde artist. Having graduated from the Surikov college and worked in the Academy of Arts, he becomes «an antisocial element» who should be expelled from the capital during the Olympic Games. So, the two militiamen are searching streets for people while the soundtrack «I’ll get out on a long distant station» is playing. About a dozen of outcasts, drunks, hookers and dangerous "artists" get on the bus that leaves Moscow to the song «All life is ahead, just hope and wait». Boris manages to jump off the escorted bus and escape; he hides in a shed of a country lot.
