Petrov es escritor de cómics y sobrevive con su familia en la Rusia postsoviética. Con el país sumido en una epidemia de gripe, Petrov y su amigo Igor se embarcan en una alucinante travesía marcada por los delirios febriles y un gran baño de alcohol. A lo largo de un día, ambos amigos deambulan entre los reinos de la fantasía y la realidad, fundiéndose en el presente y pasado de los sueños del escritor y también de la propia Rusia.
What happened to Ophelia two minutes before death? What did Lady Macbeth do in prison? What if Romeo had a girlfriend before Juliet? What if the heroes of various plays know each other?

A film about how we imagine and portray death. Our heroes are the most diverse people who have been asked to go through all the stages of death, from dying to existence “on the other side.” This study of fear and laughter - the two main reactions of man to the approach of death. Death as a collective (what will happen to everyone) and individual (what will happen to you). What is special about the attitude to death in Russia? Do we know enough about this most important event in life - death? The film creates a kind of catalog, a "herbarium" of human reactions, fears and hopes that there is life after death.
