Plot

Andrey Rodin was trained 15 years ago in a special school of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), where agents were trained from teenagers. In the early 2000s, the project was closed, and the main character has long settled in one of the European cities and no longer remembers Russia.

Once he picks up the phone and hears the voice of his father, who is considered dead. He informs Andrey Rodin that he is open for hunting. Unknown services are trying to destroy him and he can only escape. Andrey Rodin now has a desire not only to survive, but also to find his father again. To the aid of the protagonist comes his first love, Masha, who also has an interest in everything that happens.

Filming

Filming began in April 2018 and takes place in Europe, Kaliningrad and Moscow. Actors had to perform tricks on the ground, in water and in the air. In one scene, the heroes fly off a balloon in wingsuits (winged overalls), and in another they jump from the roof of a 27-story skyscraper.

gollark: > I'm a dedicated member of the esolangs esocommunity - even if I only made three esolangs and they are mostly joke languages and not very good, I am pretty actively on the discord and contribute* to conversations. I would NOT do the problematic stuff you do such as randomly removing roles people liked, randomly muting and/or kicking people, generally punishing people excessively for small things, insulting people (e.g. telling them to kill themselves) for having different food preferences, breaking bots for ages, or deleting 2000 messages [DATA EXPUNGED], a mere orthographic projection of your badness.> Also, I want the nice staff color and want Nobody/Palaiologos (how do you SPELL THAT) to stop doxxing people. Additionally, I have many innovations I'd like to bring to the server, such as a dodecahedron emoji, and can help develop some of them because I am somewhat okay at bot development, if not graphic design.
gollark: Anyway, I do still need suggestions for improving my application.
gollark: Also, anyone can trigger an election at any time for any reason.
gollark: It alternates between both of those every election.
gollark: A democratically elected council except only bots can vote.
