Plot summary
Moscow, 2004. The wealthy entrepreneur Kuptsov bores beneath the city toward a diamond vein, a dig that will wreck Moscow and its people if it succeeds; his drill lacks power, and the Nano-catalyst he needs to fuel it is missing. Elsewhere, college student Dima wants a car and wants his classmate Nastya, whose friend Max has a Mercedes and her attention. Dima's parents give him a grungy old Volga he is ashamed of. The car, fitted with failed Nano-catalysis from a secret Soviet project, carries rocket engines and can fly. Dima begins delivering flowers in it, which brings him into conflict with Kuptsov's men.
