SYNOPSIS Three young guys aged around 18 live in a small Russian town by the Black Sea. Their world is one of poverty, teenage pranks, petty crime and various other enterprises of more or less dubious moral character. Underneath the tough exterior, they are normal, average teenagers with the usual problems, doubts and insecurities. All three have a dream in common: to escape the dragging, shabby existence in their hometown and to find some meaning in life…or at the very least a lot of money and success. Once, when visiting a large city on the coast, in the glittering window display of a fashionable boutique they see a Gucci suit that captivates their imagination and becomes to them a symbol of their dream. They make a pact: to obtain the suit at any price. When they finally do, it changes all their lives in quite unexpected ways. |
