Victor Ryzhakov: Drunk — is a particular kind of state. It is when a person acquires the ability to speak to the world about what's really on his mind. It is when conscience awakes, and people are being taken by candid questions and candid answers about themselves. There are some moments in life when we ​say to each other: “Are you drunk or something?” The drunk is a person in a bad skin. Our story is about people in a bad skin. Ours is a story about people who violate the common rules, who don't give a damn about the conventions and, breaking all the taboos, speak of the essentials. The drunk always feels half seas over. When there are no strings attached the conversation is going to be for real. The characters are trying to find a simple answer to the main question: what are we do?
