Abduction of the Sparrow

A former policeman Pozhivaev once notices a leaflet on a post - "A dog has disappeared ...". After a couple of meters, he stumbles upon another ad - about finding a dog. It turns out that it was about the same dog. Pozhivaev decides to help deliver the dog to the owner, who turns out to be his neighbor... So the hero comes up with the idea to create a Service for the search and rescue of pets. It includes a self-taught mechanic Vitya Burkin, an avid computer scientist Garik and Mikhalych, a young authority on the bird market...

Directed by Alexey Fedorchenko, Abduction of the Sparrow leans on a strong ensemble — Sergei Parshin, Pavel Serdyuk, Olga Sirina — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2006.
