The actors seemed to enter every house to tell the story of an ordinary Soviet guy named Sergei Krasheninnikov. His falling under the influence of the dubious businessman collecting netsuke, and in fact the criminal and the preservation of the moral principle that allowed him to escape from a dangerous company, is the main intrigue of the beloved film.
Star role of Vasily Funtikov
Today, no one doubts that the success of the film is largely due to the successful choice of the protagonist, who was played by Vasily Funtikov, already experienced at that time . Although the young man himself was only 17 when he starred in Krosh’s Vacation.

But fate so happened that he would play his most famous role as a tenth grader. After further graduating from the Schukin School, Funtikov remained in the profession, becoming an actor in theater and cinema. But for all, he is still Krosh (the nickname of the protagonist) - a sincere and inquisitive boy who retained a sense of dignity.
According to the plot, the young man spent vacations without parents. Left to his own devices, he falls into the orbit of the influence of a certain Vladimir Nikolaevich, whom everyone called simply Veen. He gathered around him a group of guys helping him to collect Japanese figurines (netsuke) and who became involved in his dirty machinations. The hero of Funtikov goes the way of growing up and understanding what good and evil, meanness and true friendship are. Once in childhood, Vasily himself was seriously engaged in playing the violin, probably the subtle soul of the musician helped him reach out to the hearts of his peers.
