On October 20, 1982, during a match between Spartak Moscow and Dutch Haarlem, a stampede occurred on the stairs of the Luzhniki Stadium, in which, according to official data, 66 people died. On the day of the incident, only the visitors of the stadium found out about it, the next day — some of the relatives of the victims, and the information became public only 7 years later. As a result of the criminal case, several people from the stadium management were convicted, but perhaps they were not the only ones responsible for the tragedy. No one has ever put together her complete, comprehensive picture — and director Mikhail Reichelhaus is trying to do just that in his film. Detail by detail, he recreates the sequence of events of that day, relying on documents and talking with eyewitnesses — and it turns out not just an investigation, but also a real cast of that time.
