Plot synopsis
Loosely based on short stories by Yuri German. Ivan Lapshin is the chief of the police criminal investigation department in a small town of Uchansk. A man of few words, he does what he has to and does it extremely well. May be, he is a bit too tough, but he is never indifferent to people. He has friends and there is a woman he loves...
The film was awarded the “Bronze Leopard” – the Grand Prix of the International Film Festival in Locarno (1986) and the Vasilyev Brothers’ State Premium of the RSFSR (1986).
