Tolyatti, the Russian city that was once a symbol of progress and socialist pride, is now the poorest large city in Russia. Famous for being home to the Soviet automobile industry, with its legendary LADA car, Russia’s Detroit is today a decadent place, frozen in time and with the highest youth unemployment rate in the country. It is in this context of desolation that the “Boyevaya Klassika” emerges, a movement of teenagers who rescue the old cars from the local factory to turn them into vehicles of fun, rebellion and expression of hope, thus giving a second chance to this icon of the national splendour they never experienced. The film follows Slava, Misha and Lera for a year on their journey to find a way to survive in this city, to face adulthood and to rewrite their destiny.
