According to a drunk, middle-aged woman who always wanted to be an actress, "Happiness is when someone understands you, when someone loves you." Her equally inebriated boyfriend is so jealous that he smacks her time and again. Director Alexander Rastorguev follows the tragicomic couple during their summer holiday by the sea. But he also directs his camera at other seaside visitors, like the man earning a living on the beach with a camel, a young womaniser, and a dwarf getting married to a young woman. They are all spending the summer on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. Rastorguev observes man in all of his manifestations: fat, thin, young, old, drunk, dancing, singing, having sex and bathing in mud or in the sea. Even President Putin makes an appearance, clad in casual clothes. Quite a few fortune-seekers at the resort get caught up in a daily carrousel of sex, booze and aggression. When a corpse washes ashore, several people say they would also like to drown in the sea. It is no surprise that the soundtrack repeatedly plays a song of longing, about a small boat all alone at sea: "What is it looking for so far from home? Not happiness, but a typhoon."

Two young Muscovites, yesterday's students, work "on the Internet", do not really know what they live for, do not really understand their country, and do not really see prospects in life. The TV was buzzing all ears about the Great Winter Olympics 2014 in Sochi, so they rent a car, buy tickets and drive across the country to see the competitions, the sea and Russia beyond the Moscow Ring Road.

He’s enrolled at the University of Nizhny Novgorod and is supposed to be watching online lectures, but his mother says all he actually does is hang around watching TV. Oleg doesn’t have any need for friendships, either. Marina wants him to improve his life and subjects him to a series of unconventional treatments. Don Juan raises questions about the distinction between introversion and autism. Salvation eventually comes from an unexpected source.

Поэт читает стихи через зарешеченное окно, монгольская девочка зажигает огонь в печи, с силой дует на пламя, создавая звук, подобный волчьему вою в степи. Как и огонь, фильм вырастает из самого себя, из особого ритма монтажа.

What actually happened in Russia in August 1991? What kind of force controlled the crowds on Palace Square in Leningrad? What kind of evidence is presented on the screen: the collapse of the regime or its creative rebranding? Who are these people looking at the camera, the winners or the victims?
