Sideburns

A small town in post-perestroika Russia is plagued by groups of ideologically minded young people. The Capella group preaches breaking taboos: open relationships, sex orgies, homosexuality, vandalism and punk music. They terrorise the town daily. To the older residents of the town Capella is the devil made flesh. The only ones fighting Capella are a group of violent bullies who call themselves "the Tusks". A student, Alexander, has come to town with a university friend to visit his aunt and uncle. The young men arrive dressed as 1820s in Western fashion in top hats and capes, both sporting sideburns and walking canes. They are the Alexander Pushkin club whose sacred aim is the salvation of Russia. Finding out that his young cousin has run away from home to join Capella, Alexander goes to find their haunt in an attempt to bring her to reason and return her to her family. Having failed in his errand and led on by Viktor, his mysterious friend and mentor, Alexander makes a new attempt to save the town and Russia.
