'Today is always more expensive than yesterday'. This is the fundamental rule of a pyramid scheme. Russia in the early 1990s was undergoing a painful economic transition. The cunning mathematician Sergei Mamontov took advantage of this chaos and devised 'MMM'. The company quickly became the biggest pyramid scheme in the world having attracted 15 million loyal followers. Delivered by the truckload, the cash was pouring in so fast that there was no time to count it. Through Mamontov's clever ad campaign 'MMM' became so pervasive and so powerful that it threatened to bring down the government. Based on real events, the film is an account of how Mamontov built the pyramid scheme and how it exploded. It is a story of deceit, corruption, schemed wealth, glamour and messianic ambition for the salvation of Russia and the common folk. It is a story of an ordinary man who through extraordinary means took on the politicians at their own game. A taut, smart political thriller that presents a brilliant analysis of the power of money and the depths that the State will plumb to maintain control of their racket.
