A play in the genre of "old city chronicle" based on Nikolai Leskov's novel "The Cathedralists" directed by Evgeny Kamenkovich. For Leskov, the humanizing power of Christianity was never an empty word. He was convinced that faith could transform a person. And his heroes are people who are almost impossible to find in the world: the very embodiment of Christian love, active, pure, and selfless. In the novel, originally titled "Thirsting Movements of Water," the writer tells about the lives of simple, decent people who are powerless against the slander and idiocy of officials; about the discrepancy between church reality and the very ideals of Christianity; about evil that triumphs over good, contrary to the canons of Russian fairy tales.
