Synopsis
Mysterious events happen in Crimea during the collapse of the Soviet Union.
NO-ONE is a family revenge story that turns into a parable of eternal return and historical guilt. The main character is a talented and artistically gifted KGB general who has no illusions about the world he belongs to. He profoundly despises it, constantly changing masks and roles. Nevertheless, the universal karmic forces bring together events and people around him - a military coup, greedy relatives, betraying subordinates, the erotic adventures of an alienated wife - and his inevitable destiny unfolds.
