Two men and a woman meet in a Moscow bar and, in the course of getting to know each other, weave extravagant lies about their lives to make themselves seem more interesting. This meeting is only the starting point though for a dark and bizarre journey into the far corners of modern Russia, a journey that covers themes such as cloning, genetics, mass manipulation, and a world where individual and human identity is being slowly marginalised and pushed into the corners.
