Plot synopsis
Without the help of western investors, Russian businessmen have reconstructed an "island of Soviet life" and called their child "Dream Park". In one park they have the sea, and an almost real Kremlin, rivers, mountains and the desert. The visitors are surrounded by the most popular actors, singers, chess-players of those timesÖ The popular TV reporter Oleg Zimin, who is supposed to advertise this park on his programme, is one of the first visitors. Tired from the troubles that have descended upon him from different directions in the busy Moscow, he decides to rest at the same time as visiting the park. At first he is genuinely delighted and everything reminds him of his youth. Then Oleg falls in love with Aliona Volkova, one of the best workers in the Park. But soon he is told that contacts between employees and visitors are forbidden, and that Aliona already has an admirer: the entrepreneur Robert. And comrade Robert is one of top people in the Parkís administration.
