This ferocious farce by Aleksei Balabanov suggests that on the mean free-market streets of modern day Russia, the only real liberty is the freedom to kill. Trigger-happy sibling assassins Simon (Dmitri Dyuzhev) and Sergei (Aleksei Panin) work as errand boys for Mikhailovich (Nikita Mikhalkov), the sadistic kingpin of a provincial Russian town. But after brians Sergei and brawn Simon bungle a crucial drug deal, and a crooked cop's death squad grabs their briefcase of hell powder heroin, Mikhailovich's patience wears thin. The brothers' life and death quest to reclaim their stash initiates a messy turf war. (official distributor synopsis)
