The Boy's Word: Blood on the Asphalt

A step outside. Quiet 14-year-old Andrei meets kids who are far from his circle. With them behind him, no school bully is scary.

A completely different disco. Marat's brother returns from military service. The world has changed, and Vova's plans extend far beyond the hustle and bustle in the courtyard.

One fist is a threat, but ten is trouble. Someone has to answer for the fate of one of the boys, but street fights don't end with a conversation.

Just like in the movies. Marat and his friends rescue Vova from the hospital and buy themselves some time to think. Is it possible to turn away from the path of violence halfway through?

Honest business. Andrei's new idea attracts the attention of the streets, which see everything. But even under their strict supervision, evil begets evil.

The streets are unforgiving. Vova, Marat, and Zima conceal the details of their meeting with the Dombytovs, as the consequences could be irreversible for everyone.

Andrei is looking for ways to protect his family. Punishment is already hot on Vova's heels, but there is still hope for a different life — only is it realistic?

Some gave up, some gave in. To move forward, you have to leave the streets behind. But once you give your word, you can't just take it back.
