The Official

Yana

The life of Arina Alferova, an official of the regional Ministry of Health, is very prosperous: a nice apartment in the city center, a decent foreign car, morning styling, shopping trips to Moscow, jewelry, expensive shoes. After all, the head of the finance and economics department can afford something. And sometimes even more than that. Especially if your lover does business with the largest pharmaceutical company in the region. What's in return? Put a couple of signatures on the contracts. Carried away by her personal life, she does not notice what each of her signatures is worth. One day, a bitter reckoning will come too close to her — a loved one dies from fake pills. So the official decides to integrate herself into the corrupt chain in order to get to the very top — to the minister — and drown everyone.

Kontora

Несси

They were once just ordinary people. He was a local police inspector, and she was a journalist writing about all things unusual. But ever since they became agents of a top-secret agency dealing with anomalous phenomena, their lives seemed to shift into another world. Their only connection to the normal world was through the Courier, while their assignments came from the Curator—who also received their reports. In the past, the Agency had many employees. Everyone felt the importance and uniqueness of the missions they carried out. But after a time of upheaval—when funding dried up and the future became uncertain—only four people remained from the original team. Yet neither the budget nor the headcount can influence the unknown forces that give rise to anomalies. These factors only determine the risk and burden placed on the agents who continue doing everything they can to keep anomalous phenomena from disrupting everyday life.

Europe - Asia

Somewhere in the Urals, between the European and the Asian parts of Russia, there is a stele called "Europe-Asia". Professional swindlers have taken a liking to this place. For several days in a row a wedding is taking place by the roadside. They hide under the veil of the bride, in the costumes of the groom and witnesses, cynically taking in turn every traveler. Fraudsters "spin" the travelers for cash gifts to the newlyweds, generously feeding the guests with diluted alcohol. Under the guidance of the "mother of the bride" the group plays out incredibly funny criminal plays, and their spectators, accomplices and victims are PR people and political technologists, Chinese and Hungarians, policemen and bandits, beggar nomad children and, of course, foreign tourists nostalgic for the once abandoned Russia....
