Mysterious events happen in Crimea during the collapse of the Soviet Union.
NO-ONE is a family revenge story that turns into a parable of eternal return and historical guilt. It is an unusual anti-version of Shakespeare's Othello, where the Renaissance characters and events are depicted in a parallel reality in Russia during the military coup of 1991. Venice is replaced by Moscow, Cyprus – by Crimea; the Venetian general Othello becomes a general of the Russian secret police and the insidious schemer Iago, Othello's standard-bearer – an elite student, nephew of the Russian general. All this in a strange way corresponds to Shakespeare's oeuvre, but at some point the events and character relations as if instigated by irresistible forces of fate, start to move away from the familiar plot. The main character is a brilliantly educated and artistically gifted general serving a cruel and blood-drenched organization; he harbors no illusions about the world around him, constantly changes masks and roles, always remaining at the top. Nevertheless, karmic forces pull events and people around him into a deadly vortex of infidelities and defeats. Betrayals cling to one another, and the inevitable becomes reality.
