Director Valeriy Todorovsky explores the politics of music, as he hones in on the conflict between the garishly dressed and sexually liberated hipster movement of 50s Russia and their arch-foes – the Komsomol, the youth wing of the Communist Party. In a familiar musical set-up, Communist youth Mels (Anton Shagin) falls head over hells for Polly (Oksana Akinshina), a hipster girl who shows him the wonders of American jazz… and hairspray.
