Graduate student Pleshcheyev did time for a theft he didn't commit — all for a woman named Larisa. He gets out to find she's built a business on the stolen money and has no use for him. He steals her prized purebred dog. Larisa sees the business angle: steal expensive dogs from devoted owners, then "recover" them for a generous fee. The agency gets a name — Felix — and an unusually flexible understanding of detective work. Then a woman named Nastya complicates everything. A breezy comedy of errors that runs on pure absurdist logic. Watch Detective Bureau "Felix" online on iFILM.
