Comedy, Music, Crime

Directed by Mikhail Mareskin

Blurring the line between music video and cinema, this short based on Russian rock band's Leningrad's song of the same name tells the story of a drug addicted woman narrated by her in the past tense. Seemingly spurred by an act of charity that she reads as condescension, the woman helps her boyfriend commit a robbery of a wealthy, powerful criminal.
