Russia ndrama film directed byIlya Khrzhanovsky after a screenplay byVladimir Sorokin . Originally it was conceived as a short film, but turned into a full-length film after four years of work.Plot summary
Oleg (a meat merchant), Marina (a prostitute), and "simply Volodia" (a piano tuner) drop into an all-night bar in Moscow, where they are served by a narcoleptic bartender (three plus one is four) while each regales the others with made-up biographies. Oleg claims to work in President Putin's administration, supplying him with bottled water and his wife with liquor; Marina passes herself off as a marketing executive; and "simply Volodia"—played by Sergei Shnurov, the infamous lead singer of the rock group Leningrad—as a geneticist who clones twins (two times two makes four, again) in a laboratory that has been engaged in these experiments since the days of Stalin. After they separate, these fantasy realities, especially Volodia's, begin to dominate their everyday lives.
