Young TV news cameraman Vadik (Sergei Bodrov Jr. of Prisoner of the Mountain and The Brother) roams post-Cold War Russia shooting footage he can sell to Western news outlets. A romance gets underway when he meets British TV producer Helen (Anna Friel), and he also develops a friendship with eccentric nationalist politician Yavorsky (Vladimir Ilyin), a character patterned after Vladimir Zhirinovsky. After Vadik films an assassination attempt on Yavorsky, he learns the assassination was faked.
