Overview
Orphans Dimka and Yaroslav live independent lives. Each of them received a one-room apartment from the state, but the guys decided to live together in order to rent out free living space. They record their reckless life on an amateur camera. However, when the work that the state offers doesn't suit them, one of their acquaintances offers his help - he kicks out the non-paying tenant, draws up papers for himself so that the guys can get a loan for a private business, and then ... deceives and sells their apartment. The first test of adulthood turns out to be cruel, but even more severe trials await Dima and Yaroslav ahead...
