When growing up meets family economy and a generous portion of domestic absurdity, the story is about how mom knows how to turn any gift into a bargain, and attempts to understand sex turn into comic awkwardness. Between apartment renovation and medical "special effects" from Zina's baba and a home ophthalmologist in a khrushchevka apartment, the hero tries not to go crazy in the era of sanctions, russian railroad bonuses and thin walls. This is not just stand-up, but a chronicle of survival in a world where even love for family is a tricky business.
