Carpe Diem

Five unusual short stories. Two heroes are fighting for the heart of a mysterious beauty in the tragicomedy Olesya. In the parable "Milk" in the high-rise kitchen a real cow appears. The heroine of the comedy without the “Not Fit” dialogues is torn between the desire to lose weight by the alumni meeting and the modern food cult. The eccentric Rita Hurricane rushes into the life of the security guard of the Leo shopping center and changes it forever. And the hero of the story "Carpe diem" solves an important question - to lie or not to lie, when everyone around is lying.

The "Alone Anthologyc" is a project of the Andrey Konchalovsky film company that combines short films of various genres by seven aspiring Directors who reflect on what happens when a person is left alone with himself.

Anya is used to achieving everything in life on her own. Denying herself many things, she is the only one in the family who works and takes care of her mother and sister. Anya’s sister, Masha, is her complete opposite. Since childhood, she has been the parents’ favorite, with every whim indulged, and she is used to getting the best of everything and attracting plenty of male attention. Masha easily steals Anya’s boyfriend, Yuri, who in reality is interested neither in Masha nor Anya, but in obtaining a Moscow residence permit. Life keeps bringing Anya new surprises: unexpectedly, a man appears claiming to be her real father. Gravely ill, he comes seeking her forgiveness. But Anya’s happiness is short-lived — her father dies soon after.
