Plato (film)
2008 film by Vardan Hakobyan
Plato (Russian: Платон) is a 2008 Russian drama film directed by Vartan Akopyan.
Plot
Fashionable metropolitan party-goer, "seller of happiness" Plato, earns money by finding the most beautiful girls in Russia on all sorts of castings and offers them to rich people who are willing to pay a large sum of money for a girl. Due to his attractive appearance and outstanding intellectual abilities, Plato always achieves his goal, until one day he meets Lyuba, a saleswoman in a fashion store. A romance develops between them but one of the most important clients of Plato, oligarch Abdul, asks him to arrange a meeting with Lyuba. Plato offers Lyuba a deal – both in order to make money and to satisfy Abdul, and she accepts. Lyuba's meeting with Abdul takes place where she sets her condition - the murder of one person, namely, Plato. Abdul agrees to satisfy this whim of the girl, but later Lyuba disowns this idea. Lyuba marries Abdul, becomes one of his wives and moves to his house in London.
Plato continues to do his job, wheeling the city in search of promising girls, but can not forget Lyuba. And one day he decides to find Abdul and goes to visit him, where he finds Lyuba, who is perfectly happy and does have any romantic feelings for him.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Plato (film)” as 2008 film by Vardan Hakobyan. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2008 film by Vardan Hakobyan. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4364633. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2008.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
