My name is Arlekino

The end of the 1980s . A young guy Andrei Savichev, nicknamed "Harlequin" ( Oleg Fomin ) lives on a small stop near the railway, near the city. He is the leader of a small group of guys from the "lining" who call themselves "wolves" and confront various groups of informals : neo-Nazis , hippies , metal , as well as just rich " majors " from the city. Harlequin is not enthusiastic about such a life, but he understands that he cannot have another life. His girlfriend Lena ( Svetlana Kopylova ), with whom he was truly in love, leaves him for a wealthy young major, Inter (Igor Kechaev). However, she loves only Arlekino and later returns to him. Insulted in this way, Inter decides to deal with Harlequin. He and a group of other majors take Lena and Arlekino out of town and rape Lena there in front of Arlekino.
