Love & Art

Government official Victor Letayev oversees road construction in the Perm region. He is a cynical kind, accustomed to always getting things done, and getting them done his way. He loves his job, he is good at it, and he has zero interest in anything else. His motto is, “I used to chop firewood for a living. Everyone needs firewood; you can’t heat a home with art or culture.” Victor’s attitude changes when art and culture become areas of priority for his region’s development. Now, in order to keep his job, Victor has to study Perm region’s cultural heritage. Hoping to make things easier for himself, he takes lessons from art historian Marina. Will she succeed in imposing cultural awareness on a pragmatic government functionary?
