Synopsis

[edit]

Having quarreled with his son, Tsar Ivan the Terrible accidentally mortally wounds him—as depicted in the painting by Ilya Repin. To fix this, Ivan, with the help of a magical grimoire from his legendary library, decides to travel to the past a moment before the fatal blow. However, everything does not go according to plan, and the tsar finds himself in our time, where he meets the Osipov family.

Nikita Osipov is an unsuccessful archaeologist and an equally unsuccessful father and husband. Recently divorced, he has lost contact with his children—Romka and Polya. The Osipov family becomes embroiled in Ivan's tale, as he tries to find the grimoire and save his son.[5]
