A Cool Change

Once upon a time, Andrey went against the family tradition and, abandoning his career as a teacher, went to Moscow. The business failed, and the only way to fix things was to sell the family house, which, according to rumors, Pushkin once lived in. But there is a problem: in order to make a deal, it is necessary to obtain the permission of the father, who is serving time in the colony and blames his son for this. In order to improve relations, Andrey goes to the trick and gets a job as a teacher at an evening school at the colony. But this seems to be not enough, and to prove the sincerity of his intentions to return to teaching, Andrei simultaneously gets a job at an ordinary school as a literature teacher. During the day, he instills a love for beautiful teenagers, and in the evening — prisoners. And it's not always clear which school is safer to work at.

Directed by Karen Oganesyan, A Cool Change leans on a strong ensemble — Nikita Efremov, Ivan Dobronravov, Igor Chernevich — 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 comedy titles of 2023.
