Two young residents of Moscow, recently graduated, hire a car, buy tickets and drive... Their parents built communism, their grandfathers overcame fascism, but for them there is nothing to built and to struggle for. Two young residents of Moscow, recently graduated, spend time on the internet and do not clearly understand what they are living for, don’t understand their country and don’t see a perspective in the future. Television has plagued them with Big Winter Olympic Games in Sochi and they hire a car, buy tickets and drive throughout the country to see competitions, Black sea and Russian countryside.

The protagonist in this experimental documentary is the homeless young artist and drifter Katya Krenalinova, who burned down the house of her mother and stepfather. And now she sleeps at her studio, scraping together just enough to survive. Alexandra Lihacheva places Krenalinova center stage in her directorial debut. She is on-screen for almost the entire documentary: in extreme close-up while being cross-examined by the public prosecutor, and muddled but stoical as she reveals her motives. She has no regrets, and she would be just as happy to set the entire city alight. In the rare moments that Katya is filmed outside, she wanders around in the snow near the burned down house. She poses for the camera like a model in an artistic music video, elusive and mysterious.
