Now how do these light sabre thingies work?...

The Russians take on the Matrix in the smash-hit first episode of a trilogy. Set about 1000 years from now, the world is divided into two classes: those that belong to the Light, and those that belong to the Dark. Both sides are in balance, and await the coming of one who will be so powerful that Light or Dark will be dominant, depending on which side the one chooses... In Russian with English subtitles.
