Synopsis by Violet LeVoit

Convinced that Armageddon is near, a Russian high-school student (Petr Skvortsov) clashes with authority figures, aggravates classmates with his far-right views on morality and evolution, and proselytizes his Christian doctrine at any cost. His crusade leads to a confrontation with his Jewish atheist science teacher (Victoria Isakova), who refuses to be bullied.
