“Cool Change”: Woe from Wit

Back in 2002, budding 11-grader Andrey (Ivan Ivashov, who starred in the film “Captain Volkonogov Escaped”) promised his mother-teacher that, after graduating from high school in Moscow, he would return to his native Arzamas and also become a teacher of literature. 20 years later, Andrei, who never returned from Moscow and did not become a teacher (already Nikita Efremov, known from the TV series The Librarian, Patient Zero), burns out another stupid startup and now he has a debt of three million.

Admit already that you are not a businessman, but you are a teacher from God, the lender tells him, and in the past a classmate. So stop, they say, doing nonsense, go to your small homeland, work there in your specialty and you will gradually pay off your debts from your salary, he instructs Andrei in a friendly, commanding tone.
