R4: “The Escape to Freedom”

Special units. Maximum security and law enforcement: two agents, codenamed Chesterfield and Wellington, have been assigned a complex mission: transporting a dangerous criminal from one prison to another. Will our heroes manage to carry out this arduous task? It’s hard to give a definitive answer, because the road—as always—is full of surprises. Perhaps the car assigned to the mission isn’t in the best condition, and perhaps they aren’t even the best special agents on the market—or maybe they aren’t special agents at all: experts, certainly, but not responsible for public order…

So, amidst intentional, unintentional, and unexpected events, stunts, jokes, technical skills, as well as close interactions with the audience, our expert agents will try to do everything possible to keep the situation under control and achieve the desired goal. Despite their efforts, the result will not be what they want, and all attempts to restore order will inevitably lead to chaos—or rather, to a full-blown public disturbance.
