Eleven comedic vignettes featuring conversations – some important, some less so – held in restaurants over coffee and cigarettes (how quickly time flies – cigarettes are banned in Russia’s restaurants now). The conversations are candid, and even veer into the territory of murder. In the final credits, the director apologizes to Jim Jarmusch, whose work (in the anthology Coffee and Cigarettes, which Jarmusch shot in pieces over many years) Oldenburg-Svintsov is clearly indebted to. Sex, Coffee, Cigarettes’s kinship with Jarmusch’s film extends to the fact that superstars play tiny roles in almost all of the vignettes.

The adventure action film centers on a famous extreme sports blogger who, having arrived in Cuba, finds herself involved in the mysterious story of a document that disappeared many years ago, according to which America was supposed to return the Guantanamo base to Cuba.

However, only her grandfather, former intelligence officer Leo Voronov, a retired KGB general, with whom she does not communicate, knows where this document is. In parallel with the action in our time, the film will also tell about the adventures of Voronov shortly before the Cuban Revolution in 1958.

A singer with a divine, angelic voice. She lived a bright, but such a difficult life. And she sang in a way that the happiest people do not sing.

The film was shot in the genre of docudrama and is based on real events. It is based on interviews with Anna's husband Zbigniew Tucholsky, as well as with her close friend Anna Kachalina, music editor at the Melodiya recording studio.
