What happens

«Посре́дник» — советский фантастический телефильм 1990 года по мотивам повести Александра Мирера «Главный полдень». Сам Мирер критиковал режиссёра Владимира Потапова за то, что картина построена вопреки логике текста, однако свою фамилию с титров не снял. Фильм снят в подчёркнуто серо-коричневых, мрачных тонах (сепия). Под некоторыми фантастическими деталями зритель может угадать реальные социальные явления. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
