While working at a pizza place, she gets an order for a pizza delivery from Venya, a strange twenty year old boy who lives all alone in a deserted apartment in the middle of Moscow.

Пока ночь не разлучит
Boris Khlebnikov

A genuine satiric comedy, based on real conversations - both amusing and sad - overheard by a journalist in one of the most expensive Moscow restaurants. Hilarious and revealing, this is a film about women who choose between affection and money, film producers that don't really know what they're filming, and weary businessmen who sometimes say screw it, down a shot and leave their mother-in-laws to pay the bill. But most of all, it's about true love that favors noisy kitchen floor over gilded fine-dining halls.

Пять короткометражных фильмов, где реальность и современные герои представлены в необычных жанровых установках. В комедии «Добрый день» курьер становится свидетелем непредсказуемой семейной ссоры. «Африка» — история возвращения стремительно взрослеющей девушки к своей эксцентричной и вечно молодой матери. «Update/Delete» на протяжении дня зафиксирует существование обычного прохожего в объективах нескольких камер, а зарождающийся революционный дух в драме «Акватлон» обернется трагично. В «Доме на голове Клаузеверца» на голове одинокого человека начинает расти дом.
