Igor Korob, who is a businessman and owner of the large- scale business, once became the victim of the “shakedown”. To protect his property Igor has to face the outrage of 90ties of the twentieth century. Unexpectedly he finds himself in the jail, when he comes out his rights on the huge profitable project are lost.

But the most terrible is to follow. At night-time he suffers from the nightmares about King Solomon, at day time he is not able to trust anybody. The things happening to Igor could be the results of his heated fantasy. Then for the first time he starts to think, what means his fortune came by.

Personal author`s opinion: For the first time Ukrainian film impressed me so much. Probably mostly to the success of the film contributed inimitable Panin.

This film of three parts, in which participated also former and current drug abusers, was made with the assistance of Kiev mayor Leonid Chernovetskiy by one capital social organization, that occupeis the prevention of negative phenomena among youth. Mostly the film is all about the drugs and psychotropic substances usage.

In the first part the organization representative passed nearby the leading Kiev universities, where for half an hour period he had managed to found several dozens of accessories for drugs usage. The second part of documentary film proves by the facts the theory, that prohibition to sell freely dangerous medicines like Tramadol will lead us to nowhere. It only increases the costs of narcotists. The third part tells us bout the degradation of Kiev youth athletic development.

The authors opinion: very useful film, that could not only help the beginners to leave the drugs, but to the parents of young people who turned on the wrong way. It also provides insight into the Ukrainian drugs business and shows how easy its schemes are. My estimation of this film is 10 of 10 possible.
