From what I can gather, Ivan Vyrypayev's film is 10 little vignettes which are musical and possibly "videos". They are based on a provocation by the established rules, morals and laws, namely, the Ten Commandments. Listed as avant-garde, there is also heavy mention of rap, although that's nowhere to be found in the trailer.
Here's a vague English synopsis I found:
Film about the youth of the XXIth century. Ten innovative musico-dramatic pop videos with variations in rap style as if they were the Ten Commandments. But the film rejects all moral implications and subjects all its action to the need for oxygen.
Trailer after ze break! Do Not Miss This!

Moscow -- For a second year running, Kinotavr, Russia's main film festival, ended with a surprise victory by a first-time director.
As the 20th edition came to a close Sunday in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, the festival jury gave the top award to "Volchok" (Spinning Top), the debut feature by Vasili Sigarev, who was previously known as a playwright. The drama about a complicated relationship between mother and daughter in a Russian provincial town also collected the screenplay prize.
Last year's winner, "Shultes" by Bakur Bakuradze, was also the director's debut feature. Overall, the festival was regarded as a victory for the younger generation of local filmmakers, who took practically all the main prizes.
Ivan Vyrypayev picked up the best director's award for his sophomore feature, "Kislorod" (Oxygen), a sophisticated musical youth drama loosely based on the Ten Commandments, which was also awarded for best music.

Moscow -- Kinotavr, Russia's main film festival, will kick off its 20th edition in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Sunday, featuring mostly films that were made before the global downturn hit the local film industry.
Festival organizers admit that the wide choice of movies for the main competition is unlikely to last, as the film industry struggles to stay afloat.
"This year, we selected 12 feature films out of 62 that were submitted," Sitora Aliyeva, the festival's programming director, told The Hollywood Reporter, adding that the selection committee is unlikely to have that many movies to choose from next year, given a sharp decline in local production.
According to Aliyeva, the economic downturn also hit the festival itself. "Our budget was cut roughly by half," she said. "The program is one day shorter and the number of guests and journalists has declined."
