      In the distant future, Earthlings help less developed civilizations overcome difficult stages of evolution. Anton, an employee of the Institute of History, travels to medieval Arkandar to save scientists capable of advancing evolution. He is to become Don Rumata Estorsky—a wealthy aristocrat who loves fights, drinks, and women. The main rule is not to interfere directly in the natural course of history, but to help a few enlighteners avoid death. However, Anton has a personal interest that he has hidden from the institute: somewhere here, in Arkandar, his father has gone missing...

      The role of Rumata in the series is played by Serbian actor Aleksandar Radojicic. He is known to the Russian audience from the film "Balkan Frontier." In the role of Condor is Sergey Bezrukov. The main casting of the project also includes: Victoria Isakova, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Nikita Kologrivyy, Fedor Lavrov, Leonid Yarmolnik, Vladimir Yumatov, Nikolai Kozak, Nina Senikar, Irina Pautova, Lev Zulkarnayev, Ravshana Kurkova, Viktor Dobronravov, Artemiy Milgram, Ivan Agapov, Maria Denisova, Alexander Demidov, Boris Zverev, Konstantin Denisov, Dania Kiselev, Yana Sekste, Rano Kubaeva, Kamilla Valiullina, Alexander Mizev, and others.

      Dmitry Tyurin, director ("Trigger," "Epidemic," "Spoiler," "Magomaev"):

      "My strongest childhood impression from the story is the opportunity to feel like a scout on a foreign medieval planet. This still seems to me the main attraction of the story. Therefore, work on the film began with creating a convincing world, thought out in all details—from astrophysics to religion, music, weapons, and everyday life."
