Canteen

"A hot summer in 1980. The capital is shaken by the Olympics, and in a small pioneer camp on the banks of the Volga, everything is quiet and peaceful. Pioneers march in lines, play football, and at night tell scary... stories; young counselors fall in love with each other; a river tram brings milk canisters, and village dogs swirl around the canteen. But the life of the pioneer camp, seemingly serene at first glance, has its secret and dark side. Among the pioneers, vampires hide. Their will determines what happens in plain sight for everyone.

“Canteen” is a simple and funny story about complex and serious things. There are kids like kids – with games, quarrels, fantasies, and foolishness. There is pioneering, already unnecessary and formal. And there are vampires who need to live among people, but by their own vampire rules. How does vampire mystique infiltrate dead Soviet rituals and reshape living and natural children's behavior? How do love and friendship confront the inherited laws of ideology and vampirism? In short, whose horn sounds for the horn player and to whose drum does the drummer march?"
