Vania, a reserved teenager, falls under the spell of three young men calling themselves the Rag Union. Full of energy, fearless and feel invincible, they leap over gravestones and car roofs – Parkour and art are their weapons against the world order. Vania wants to join them, even though it is unclear what the Rag Union is actually about: world revolution, subversive action art or pure megalomania? Vania looks on helplessly as the three take over his Grandmother's dacha. Then a girl shows up and causes trouble, and eventually the first bomb goes off. (Berlinale)

How would I review this film? When I decided to watch it, I was quite looking forward to seeing the guys who have decided to go against the regime in Russia. Once I started watching, the beginning more or less caught my attention. However, as the minutes progressed, I realized that the film was quickly ceasing to entertain me. The boys were doing just small things and their whole rebellion consisted of leaving for the countryside and occupying the house of a grandma of one of them and completely destroying it in the process. The film mixes normal scenes with musical ones. It is quite a paradox that in the scenes with music there is quite a lot going on, but on the other hand, it looks like some slapstick comedy from the days of Laurel and Hardy. Towards the ending I was looking forward to finish watching it because the film ended the same way it started. With zero results.
