The Cage

The most part of action of the movie happens in studio of a talk show where the political scientist, the patriot, a popdiva and other characters headed by the leader discuss a figure and heritage of the Reverend Sergey of Radonezh. In the middle of the record Leader unexpectedly learns that his program is closed. Having decided that him has nothing to lose, the Leader goes for broke and seeks "to expose" first of all - church, the power, the interlocutors - But the effect turns out at all not on what it counted. In the heat of brisk and even furious polemic we begin to start to see clearly true Sergey of Radonezh, and in history episodes as in a mirror we guess problems of modern Russia.
