Life after divorce is not romance, but meteorology, steel balls and mosquito monuments in Usinsk. Between trying to dance the lesginka in Dagestan and handing out iPhones in strip bars, the hero is agonizingly searching for a woman capable of stopping his alcoholism with a look. Sex under forty is not passion, but a quiet drama with no sounds and blood pressure pills, and the love of hunting and beer seems almost philosophical. In the end, it's a concert about being tired of life, the absurdity of everyday life and trying not to go crazy in a world where even flowers can cost more than a down jacket.
