The title of the film is another confirmation of this, because the fool here is not the rotten class of the bureaucracy, who cares only about their own well-being, but a simple locksmith who has not forgotten what decency and compassion are. It is he, and not representatives of the city administration, who will have to save the lives of hundreds of people living in an emergency house.
1. Evgeny Grishkovets: Farewell to paper (2014)
The leader of the rating, along with the 2nd place, is included in the best Russian films of 2014.

Grandfather's words, the way of thinking and the rhythm of life are being replaced by not always equivalent replacements. This rule also applies to paper, replaced by soulless e-books and letters that cannot be felt by the skin and fibers of the soul.
