Plot:

Action of the film Forgotten Melody for Flute takes place in the late 80s of the last century in the USSR during perestroika. Words such as glasnost, acceleration, state acceptance – attributes of perestroika – firmly enter into people's everyday life. But the huge bureaucratic apparatus did not want to change and became the main obstacle perestroika.

The film's protagonist, Leonid Semenovich Filimonov (Leonid Filatov), is a typical Soviet bureaucrat, deputy head of the "Main Directorate of Free Time." Filimonov once graduated from the conservatory and even played the flute quite well, but he did not become a musician. A successful marriage (Leonid Semenovich's father-in-law was a high-ranking Soviet official) helped Filimonov make a successful career.

Thanks to this, Filimonov had a large salary, an apartment in an elite building, a prestigious brand of car, trips abroad and, finally, access to special trades, where an ordinary Soviet citizen could only dream of getting into.

But one day Filimonov, on duty, inspected a people's theater. The theater's team, consisting of medical workers, submitted to the high commission headed by Filimonov a production of Gogol's "The Government Inspector" in a modern interpretation. Filimonov did not like this production, but he liked the young and pretty nurse Lida (Tatyana Dogileva), who played in the play.
