The Fool aka Durak (Yuri Bykov, 2014) eng sub

Dima Nikitin is an ordinary honest plumber who suddenly decides to face the corrupt system of local politics in order to save the lives of 800 inhabitants of an old dormitory, which is about to collapse. “The Fool“ wraps its Hobbesian vision of squalor around a fable worthy of Frank Capra, but twisted to suggest a cruel inversion of Capra’s inspirational allegories of humble Everymen crusading for justice and democratic ideals. “ (New York Times)
