A simple premise (two young men are charged with finding a dozen eggs in war-ravaged Leningrad or they will forfeit their lives) leads to a bizarre but thrilling adventure replete with comedy, tragedy and farce.

how is the author gonna write this masterpiece and then go on to make one of the worst endings in television smh

A story of a short lived friendship between two young me. The ending made me cry. Could have done without the vulgar and uncomfortable language.
