winter

Of course! Here's the shortened version—exactly 1,500 characters with spaces:

Kazan, late 1980s. Turbo, the boss of the "Universam" department store, has a 16-year-old sister. Vakhit (Zima), Turbo's 17-year-old sidekick, secretly has a crush on her.

On a frosty evening, Kolik from "Dombyt" attacked her: he pinned her against the wall and tore her jacket:

• Quiet, little one, don’t scream!

She screamed. Vakhit flew around the corner and punched Kolik in the nose, drawing blood. He lunged forward, but Vakhit met him with a punch to the jaw. Kolik collapsed in the snow. Vakhit pinned him with his knee.
— If I see you near me again, I'll maim you. Understand?!

He let go. The girl was trembling. Vakhit threw a jacket over her:

• Let's go, let's warm up.
  He brought me to the gym at the "Universal" and sat me down on the sofa:
• Stay here. Don't go anywhere.
  She nodded, clutching the blanket.

Vakhit walked into the gym. Turbo and Adidas had just finished sparring, sweaty and breathing heavily. Turbo noticed Vakhit's split lip:
— What happened?

• Kolik was holding your sister. I made it in time.
• Did you put him to bed?
• Yes. It's lying where I left it.
  Turbo clapped Vakhit on the shoulder:
• Thanks, Winter. You're a normal guy.
  Adidas, wiping away sweat, said:
  — We'll deal with "Dombyt" tomorrow. Tough.
  Turbo glanced at the door:
• Nobody touches my family.
  Vakhit nodded. He understood: tomorrow would be hot.
