Nikolai, Darya, Pyotr, Ivan, Liza and Alexei are twenty-somethings who spend their hot summer days at a creative camp and their nights squandering their parents’ money in wine to discuss equality, the ideal state system, the rights of vulnerable groups and their generation’s duty to make the world a better place until the early hours of the morning. Everything changes when they decide to move from words to deeds, but their own inner demons prove stronger than their political opponents.
