Adaptation by Tatyana Ufimtseva, based on John Sing's play “A Daring Fellow, the Pride of the West.” The original work, written at the beginning of the 20th century, describes life in a remote province, where the inhabitants live in two worlds at once: in one they humbly drag out their gray monotonous existence, in the other they long for a bright life and cannot come to terms with the fact that day after day cloud-paradise floats away. Hesitant to change anything in their own lives, they sublimate the accumulated tension and transfer their collective unconscious dream to a randomly chosen hero.
