During the summer of 2014 in St. Petersburg, Russia the political situation had an influence on the minds and actions of the intelligent youth. Young millenial actors, artists and just some hipsters do nothing, but argue and laugh about Maidan, the right sector and the DPR (Donetsk People’s Republic.) They get drunk and try to solve their love problems — but, all of a sudden, political hysteria starts creeping into the story from the outside world, and, unexpectedly, it changes the main character, who at the beginning was totally indifferent to politics. From now on, it is not clear to him, where the border between drunken nonsense and frightening reality lies.
