Na região da bacia de Donbass, divisa entre a Ucrânia e a Rússia, ocorrem diversos conflitos civis entre grupos de ambos os lados, além do movimento da Nova Rússia, que pretende anexar regiões ucranianas ao país vizinho. Em meio aos conflitos, surgem situações inesperadas, grotescas, articuladas como uma comédia absurda e violenta dos tempos individualistas em que vivemos.
The thirties, the heyday of Soviet film production.
The story of the famed couple's glory — a filmmaker and actress, behind the external well-being of which were hidden strange contradictory relationships and a sense of fear that they carried through their whole lives.
The prologue to this story is the 85th anniversary of Lidiya Polyakova, the formerly brightest star in Soviet cinema, who played the main role in all the films of her own husband, director Konstantin Dalmatov.
