Uncle Lesha is an ordinary janitor who works in an orphanage in a small town. At night, he robs the houses of wealthy residents, and he spends the loot on the needs of the same orphanage. His scheme fails when three of the most hooligan pupils accidentally catch Uncle Lesha "at work". The hero has no choice but to take the youth as accomplices… From this moment on, Uncle Lesha's life turns into an attraction, and he has to solve a mountain of problems from his new "companions", confuse the investigation of his own crimes, regain the trust of his beloved woman, pay for serious mistakes of the past, and most importantly, implement his "Robin Hood plan" to the end. The lives of his accomplices are also changing, because thanks to this adventure they acquire a "fatherly figure."

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
