Lukas, an interpreter for an OSCE, finds himself stranded near a small southern Ukrainian town. With nowhere to turn, this city boy finds shelter at the home of a colorful local named Vova. Fascinated by his host and his host's daughter Marushka, with whom he is rapidly falling in love, Lukas’s contempt for provincial life slowly melts away and sets him on a quest for a happiness he had never known could exist.
Roman Bondarchuk's black comedy is a poetically surreal love letter to an untamed corner of the Wild East.
