The Cossacks have left their beautiful wife and child behind. Every morning, he goes to work, and at night, when he comes home, he finds his wife and child. The man begins to feel that something is different. He can't sleep, he can't laugh, and he has no answers. One day, a woman chased by a suspicious foreigner runs into the cinema where he works. A few days later, by chance, he meets the woman again and decides to accompany her on her "last dangerous job", without knowing what is going on. During the short journey. The man is convinced that she is the answer to his life... The story could be seen as a dream of a Peter Pan man who wants to be a boy forever, but thanks to the characters and good performances of the lead actors, it is successfully made into a physical reality. The result is a bittersweet, "slightly older" boy meets girl story.

A fun picnic for three, we thought it would last forever. Two brothers, both aspiring to become professional musicians, live a carefree life. A young woman moves into the flat next door to theirs. Soon the three hit it off and she begins to sing in the brothers' band. But just when they are all feeling a little emotional, the brother goes off on his own. The film is richly unified and full of taste, from the characters' clothes to the sweets beside them, the locations and the books they find. Maybe it's just a hobby of the director, but when it appears on the screen it becomes something that can be called aesthetically pleasing, and we feel the emergence of a filmmaker with an extravagant sensibility. The seemingly trivial dialogue also captures the emotional landscape of a generation that does not speak its mind.
