Plot synopsis

The film is set in Moscow in 1953, against the background of the so-called Doctors' Plot - an anti-semitic operation that spread the rumour that Jewish doctors were conspiring to poison the Soviet high command. The hulking baldie Yuri Glinsky, a Red Army general and brain surgeon whose chaotic household shelters two Jewish nieces is caught up in the scandal. He ends up witnessing Stalin's gruesome demise, which is where the title is explained (Khroustaliov was chauffeur to Beria, chief of the secret police).
