Plot 
The action of the picture takes place in the dashing 1990s - with their powerful and at the same time spontaneous business development, glamorous parties, gang wars, often turning into a bloody ending. The production of commercials and music videos is becoming one of the most profitable financial investments. The protagonist of the film, a young ambitious Moscow music video director Grisha, is just starting his journey in this new profession for Russian society. For the successful development of his career, he needs useful connections, therefore, in his environment there are only the highest paid video makers in the country, and among his clients are the most popular domestic artists. Gregory is trying his luck, getting involved from time to time in dangerous adventures. But it's worth it: after all, as they say, who does not take risks does not drink champagne!

Production 
The director of this comedy from CTB was Grigory Konstantinopolsky according to his own script. And the producers of the humorous Russian project include Sergey Selyanov, Irina Bark, Evgeniya Tsitsina.

Some characters are bred under their own names: Aram Vardevanyan plays Armen Petrosyan, Rinal Mukhametov plays Bogdan Titomir, Nikita Presnyakov plays Vladimir Presnyakov Jr.'s own father.
Others only resemble real clip makers and representatives of creative bohemia: for example, the hero of Aleksandr Kuznetsov plays Vasily Coppola (son of the famous director Grigory Coppola), is somewhat similar to Fyodor Bondarchuk, Tonya Vodkina (Mariya Shalayeva) - to Dunya Smirnova, Armen's elderly grandmother (Roza Khayrullina) - on Mrs. Bronya, and the artist Okhlostanov, the star of the film Eight and a Half Dollars - on Ivan Okhlobystin, who really played the main role in the film of the same name.
The main character (Alexander Gorchilin), bred under the transparent pseudonym Grisha Vizantysky, is the alter ego of Grigory  Konstantinopolsky himself.
