The main character is Misha Pitunin, an ordinary boy without any special talent. Though he has one talent - the ability to get into trouble. Since his childhood till today he finds himself in numerous comic situations that turn into misfortunes for him.

Misha grew up in the Soviet era, when education was mainly based on grinding and forcing on the things . As a result, Misha even yet in kindergarten was full of deep hatred towards the main Russian poet. It seemed to him that Alexander Pushkin was to blame for all his troubles.

The audience will live alongside Misha and see him growing up, and also how gradually his attitude towards the poet is changing. The image of Pushkin in the play is metaphorical. It plays the role of everything that the main character does not like in himself, everything that he refuses to accept and to change. Constantly moving from our days to Pushkin time and back, the heroes discover some accidental events preceding the poet’s fateful duel. The performance will shed the light on the curious details of the personal life of those who surrounded Pushkin - Georges d’Antès, Jacob van Heeckeren, Natalia Goncharova. And it turns out that possibly the poet could have been saved.
