action
Saxophonist Vladimir Ivanov worked for the Moscow Circus in the early 1980s before perestroika . He feels unhappy, lives in an overcrowded apartment with his whole family. He has to crouch towards his superior, he has to stand in line for hours for shoes. In order to buy gasoline for his small car on the black market, he repeatedly roams the streets. One would like to see his grandfather behind bars for shouting anti-Soviet slogans out of the window.
The circus is sent to New York . Vladimir's friend Anatoly, who had been talking about weaning the whole time, changed his mind. Vladimir, who has been trying all the time to talk his friend out of his plan, does, however, withdraw. At Bloomingdale’s he hides behind the counter in the perfume department. There he met the saleswoman Lucia. While still in the department store, he asks for asylum in the USA. The black security guard Lionel Witherspoon has sympathy with the refugee and lets him live with him in Harlem.
However, Vladimir imagined life in New York to be different. He has to find a job, he speaks little English, he is lonely and afraid of being deported. The neighborhood is terrible and the work he finds poorly paid. Ultimately, Vladimir finds out that the American way of life is not what it appears to be. But that's freedom. Finally, Vladimir plays the saxophone in the street.
