The police are joined in the mansion by the curious and gallant detective Benoit Blanc, hired by a family member who preferred to remain unknown but is nevertheless eager to find the truth. Benoit must separate false traces from real ones and untangle a twisted mass of lies in order to find the murderer among all of the deceased writer’s family members and servants: after all, each of them has something to hide.

11:50. USA, Germany, UK 2018, 91 min. Directed by Werner Herzog, André Singer. In English with Russian subtitles. The film is based on three extensive interviews with the first and only president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev. He tells the story of his life, from his childhood in a Stavropol village to his retirement, including shots from newsreels and comments from the former President of Poland Lech Walesa; the last President of the Hungarian People’s Republic, Miklos Nemeth; the United States Secretary of State under President Ronald Reagan, George Shultz; and advisor to Helmut Kohl, Horst Teltschik. Legendary director Werner Herzog and his co-author Andre Singer give audiences the opportunity to reassess the landmark events that Gorbachev initiated and think about how sharply and unpredictably the world changes before our eyes.
