The geopolitical tensions create anxiety at a theater set to stage Pushkin's "Onegin". For Maxim, the Russian-born lead actor, the situation causes inner turmoil that intensifies with the onset of the invasion of Ukraine. Multifaceted and complex questions in a burning contemporary drama.

Zacharias is a recovering drug addict. The departure of his older sister finds him losing his one point of anchorage. Destabilized, recently sober; he’s lost his footing, and something is liable to happen. There’s nothing between him and the rest of the world—oversensitive—he’s naked to the air. He can’t want what he wants. He must be on his guard. He changes trajectory. The only remaining point of reference; what other people want. Zacharias hurtles through the world and hopes to be done.
