Boris ve Arkady Strugatsky’nin 1964 tarihli kült romanının 1989’da yazarların izni olmadan ilk kez sinemaya uyarlanışından bu yana merakla beklenen Tanrı Olmak Zor İş, ne yazık ki ancak yaratıcısı Aleksey German’ın ölümünden sonra tamamlanabildi ve prömiyerini 2013 Roma Film Festivali’nde yaptı. Stalker’a da ilham kaynağı olan Strugatsky kardeşler de filmin bu yetkin uyarlamasını görecek kadar yaşayamadı. Hikâye, ortaçağdaymış gibi yaşayan ve pagan bir tanrının sözde oğlu tarafından yönetilen insanların yaşadığı Arkanar gezegeninde geçiyor. Dünya’dan bir elçi, insani fikirleri yaymak amacıyla Arkanar’a gidiyor. Aleksey German bu son filminde Tanrı ile insan arasındaki hiyerarşiye bir bakış atıyor

Katya Solntseva is suspected of murdering her own husband, a successful businessman. There is only one person who is confident in the accused’s innocence — Katya’s friend, Lidia. She is desperately looking for ways to save her troubled friend, but her husband, who could help, flatly refuses to get involved in the case.

After his only daughter arrives from Moscow, police officer Dymov has trouble reconnecting with her.

In the center of the plot is a senior investigator named Masha Shvetsova and her male colleagues. The plot is the most vital, but, like in “Streets of Broken Lanterns,” it is seasoned with a fair amount of humor - otherwise, how can the audience (and the heroes) endure countless morgues, identifications and other “cute” charms of the investigative routine?

Russian detectives unwind the ball of the most intricate and cruel crimes. They are consummate professionals, the best cops in town. Even on the most dangerous missions, this quartet never loses their sense of humor. It is it that helps them find the most incredible ways out of any situation. They uphold the law and emerge victorious.

Yuri Bragin, after a year-long business trip, where he, as part of an investigation team, was investigating a high-profile case, returns to St. Petersburg. When he returns, he learns that the current head of the First Investigation Department of the First Directorate of the State Investigation Department, Vadim Maltsev, is retiring. With a high degree of probability, it is Bragin who will be offered his place. But Yuri is not a careerist and the position of the boss is not the goal of his life. A talented investigator likes to do "live work" more. And now he is again sent on a business trip. This time in one of the cities of the Leningrad region, where two girls were killed with a difference of a week. Here, in a small town, everyone knows each other, and this complicates the search for the criminal.
