THE DESIGNATION

Как же точно показан этот академический террариум! Избавиться от старых пердунов - это то, что каждый молодой аспирант думает, но боится сказать. Борис Леонтьевич, конечно, портрет нашей профессуры: харизматичный, эгоистичный и абсолютно незаменимый, как он сам считает. Смехов - великолепен!

They all deserve each other. One wants power, the other wants status, and the third just plays with them like puppets. The deputy looks the most pathetic not a single scientific work of his own, only ambition. It's a comedy, but the laughter is nervous. In the end, in such games, the one with the least conscience wins.

A solid conversational drama. The dynamics are built not on action, but on glances and things left unsaid. The hospital scene contrasts perfectly with the luxurious office interiors, highlighting the vulnerability of the characters' positions. The acting keeps the tension high until the very end.

Oh, this is pure slice-of-life! The situation is painfully familiar: the boss pretends to leave, and the subordinates start tearing at each other's throats. Zhenya, that bald deputy, is the typical workhorse everyone rides on. And the professor is a genius manipulator. He keeps them both on a short leash with promises.

It’s a classic triangle where no one can truly be happy
