They party the nights away, craving excess and letting themselves go. When Marina once again goes too far, she knows her brother Sasha will save her. He spends his days training with the Olympic squad and is trying to steal his teammate’s girlfriend. The film captures the lives of young adults in Russia caught between drill and ecstasy, police checks and the desire to be there for each other.
