The Fool

A plumber named Nikitin (Artyom Bystrov) gets called to a burst pipe in a worn-out dormitory and finds a crack running through the building. He works out that it could come down before morning, with 800 people asleep inside. Yury Bykov sends him to the city officials who would have to act, and Galaganova (Natalya Surkova) and Bogachev (Yuriy Tsurilo) hold the power to order it emptied tonight.
