Plumbum, or The Dangerous Game

In a quiet, snow‑kissed provincial town, a fifteen‑year‑old boy adopts the moniker Plumbum and turns the everyday streets into his own covert playing field. With a keen mind and an unshakable belief that the community’s hidden rot can be purged from the shadows, he sets out to help the police uncover crimes that ordinary eyes overlook. The atmosphere is a blend of chilly realism and restless idealism, where each whispered rumor feels like a clue and every ordinary alley holds the promise of revelation.

Ruslan Chutko’s youthful zeal quickly draws the attention of the local law‑enforcement, particularly the stoic supervisor known as “Grey.” While the adult officers dismiss his aspirations for a formal badge, they reluctantly rely on his daring willingness to slip between the worlds of schoolchildren and suspects. At home, he appears as any other teenager—sharing songs with his parents, navigating school, and shouldering the ordinary pressures of adolescence—yet beneath that façade lies a relentless drive that pushes him ever closer to the thin line between game and obsession.

Sonya Orekhova, a classmate who quietly knows his secret, provides a rare glimpse of normalcy amid his escalating mission. Their tentative friendship hints at a world beyond the relentless pursuit of justice, suggesting that even a self‑appointed crusader yearns for connection. As Plumbum delves deeper into the town’s murky undercurrents, the film tones itself with a moody blend of suspense and introspection, inviting the audience to wonder how far a youthful conscience will venture before the shadows begin to mirror the very darkness it seeks to expose.
