The series "Border. Taiga novel ": a short plot
The plot of the film revolves around the classic love triangle.
Капитан Никита Голощекин (Алексей Гуськов) живет with his wife (Olga Budina) in the garrison town in the Far East. He is a strong-willed and ambitious person, so the existence only for wages is not an option for him. Nikita contacts smugglers and helps them smuggle drugs over the border for a fee.
Голощекин привык побеждать, но в личной жизни он collapses: his wife Marina absolutely does not have any feelings for him, moreover, she chose a successful officer, a young lieutenant Ivan (Marat Basharov). In a rage, Goloschekin makes several attempts to kill an opponent, as a result of which he dies.
The film "The Border. Taiga novel ”concerns the fate of many residents of the garrison, but the relationship between Marina and Ivan remains the central melodramatic line.

But even these traits are hypertrophied in officer Goloshchekin: he is not just hard, he is really cruel. His love for his wife is reduced only to the desire to completely subjugate her and use the woman as a thing, when he only pleases. Nikita also doesn’t bother with rivals for a long time: he eliminates them with even meanness - to kill him in the order of things. This arrogance and played a cruel joke with Goloshchekin - the attempt of another murder ends with his own death.

Ivan Stolbov first meets Marina inmedical unit after the accident that happened to him. He fell in love with a nurse who was caring for him - classics of the genre. Only now romantic Ivan did not imagine that he could pay with his life for this.
Olga Budina as Marina
