Синевир

Soviet Union, late 70s. Excursion to Sophia of Kyiv. A group of tourists stops at an ancient wall with the remains of medieval paintings. The guide explains that this is a picture of buffoons. Yegor, a 35-year-old man, one of the tourists, looks carefully at the picture in which several people, in whose hands are either tambourines and pipes, or shields and spears, surrounded a strange creature with the body of a man and the head of a dog. The guide continues to talk monotonously about the holidays, about the razhenits and buffoons, about the birth of the theater in Ancient Russia. Egor looks into the fierce dog's face.
