Let Me Just Be

Zhenya Tsoi impersonates prominent figures of Russian show business. He’s 33 and he lives with his long-time partner Maxim, who is a bus driver and a real brick wall for Zhenya. This is a tragicomical story of two close people who try to create their “family nest” within harsh realities of modern Russia. Is it possible in 21-st century Moscow to be gay and live happily in your small family? This full-length observation is a maximum zoom on the characters, somewhat comical private life of a couple in non-comical conditions at non-comical times in a grim country. Two vivid characters are like a convex mirror for any kind of long-term relations whatever.
