An absurd story reflecting contemporary social problems in Ukraine, told in the century old language of cinema, linking modernity and traditional Soviet socialist realism. Classical imagery imitates an old ideology contradicting the author's worldview revealing the roots of reality's distorition in this post-Soviet ambiance showing that cultural, political and economic problems are knotted in military conflict. Anti-archetypical grandparents are the main characters who step by step are traveling through film clichés culminating in a grotesque unnatural finale that no longer seems absurd.
