synopsis

Five passengers – the Bandit, his friend Matveyev, Matveyev’s old father, the Musician, and a young woman – race along an empty road in a big black jeep, searching for the Bell Tower of Happiness which, according to hearsay, lies somewhere between St. Petersburg and the town of Uglich, near a deserted nuclear power station. The Bell Tower transports people, but not everyone. Each of the five passengers believes that he or she will be chosen.
