Set on the outsets of the Russian financial crisis, the movie follows 4 friends trying to navigate and survive the Russian lawlessness of the early 2000s. The characters' personalities, intonations, the Russian rawness and the general atmosphere of despair and hopelessness is well executed. The acting is good and the story has many twists and turns with the narrative generally told in a linear fashion. If you want to understand what had to be done in that country at that time to not be marginalized, then check out this movie.
