Uruguayan intelligence

Warning: Spoilers
* Promiscuity in sexual relations leads to severe sexually transmitted diseases.

* And spoils the moral character of Soviet people beyond recognition.

--

* You might think that you are a spy and are afraid that you will be exposed.

* You are not far from the truth, I am really a resident of Uruguayan intelligence.

* Yes... why Uruguayan?

* You don't choose your homeland.

A picture with a rather unclear plot synopsis. The backstory of the main character, presented here by Alexei Nilov, known to the masses for "Streets of Broken Lanterns" (1997), playing a kind of womanizer with principles, is shrouded in fog. What is more or less clear is that the action, at least partially, takes place in Crimea, and also that the hero, guided by rather vague motives, decides to play as a fighter for justice, intervening in local criminal showdowns on the principle of "rob the loot".

The bold antics of a comrade will obviously not go unnoticed and have consequences, which, in particular, will smoothly lead the whole situation to the usual ending about revenge for a friend, incidentally involved in the process, pointwise diluted with the surroundings of the above-mentioned region, along the way with the fact of finding a treasure from the times of the confrontation between the whites and the reds, with which the film begins and which will still play its role, as well as the combination of the next round of various upheavals with the shoe business and sometimes the soundtrack in the person of Stevie Wounder.

On a quality level overall there is nothing special, although there are a couple of entertaining scenes. In fact, it can be perceived as a kind of ordinary, extended episode of the mentioned series, especially taking into account the fact that at times it contained more interesting stories in places.
