Plot
A provincial town N. A local governor, a Russian non-nobleman, before his election, wants to restore a theater that has long been inactive and asks his wife, a ballerina in the distant past, to fulfill this task. But how did it happen that his wife staged the wrong ballet for his election, or the Swan Lake ?! Since the theater does not have a troupe, it decides to recruit random people: locals, old people and freaks who cannot move and dance beautifully. A woman invites to her "Swan Lake" everyone who dreams of becoming a part of art, regardless of age, gender, physical capabilities and professionalism.

Producer Asya Temnikova about the film:
“Our story belongs to the genre of tragicomedy. Today, modern filmmakers rarely turn to this genre, which makes our film unique. We wanted to talk with the audience about the essence of the Russian person and what the concept itself means - Russian. Our governor is an adherent of true Russian traditions, he lives in the estate, surrounded by servants. Our film will tell about the Russian people, but it's not about nationality at all. All the characters who came to the casting of Swan Lake, perhaps, are partly freaks and strange personalities, but they are sincere, sincere and open. "
Filming location: St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region (the Stroganov-Golitsyn estate in Maryino).
The director of the tape, Anton Bilzho, spoke about working with non-professional artists:
“We wanted the people involved in the production of Swan Lake, non-professional dancers during the filming of the tape, to simply live inside this theater, being themselves. The entire film crew tried not to set any acting tasks for these people, but simply to follow the natural development of the production. That is why there were a lot of improvisations and other unexpected moments that the viewer will watch at the premiere. "
