LatestZhora, along with his parents, moves to another city, where he cannot establish relations with classmates in any way, and teachers openly find fault with him.

Acting
Denis Vlasenko commits so hard you'll forget he's not actually 15.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show premiered on Russian streaming platform Start, part of a wave of youth-focused content examining how Soviet-era educational structures collide with digital-native teenagers. The helmet-as-gimmick works because it literalizes what every teen already feels: constant surveillance.
Creator Denis Vlasenko (who plays Zhora) reportedly improvised several classroom monologues after the director encouraged him to draw from actual school grievances. The infamous cafeteria scene in episode 7 was shot in a real working school during lunch break.
