A Soviet physicist crashes his career and lands in his childhood suburb—where time itself bends.
The hero of the play, physicist Anosov, after a failed scientific experiment, goes to the “country” of his childhood - Blagush, once a suburban district of Moscow. Memories help the hero find the strength to continue working.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Blagush was a real working-class district being erased by Moscow's expansion; filming there captured actual demolition.
The improbability theory of the title mirrors quantum mechanics' uncertainty principle—Anosov's personal and professional collapse are the same event observed differently.
