Otto, a young man working at a Moscow fashion house, is preparing for his wedding to his fiancée, Maria. At one of the shows, he meets a teacher he had a crush on in his youth. Their feelings are rekindled. This relationship leads to a series of problems and misfortunes, culminating in a murder in the very heart of the fashion house. This story has narrators—they debate throughout the film the artistic direction of scenes, the genre, and even the color scheme of the characters' outfits. Whether it's a classic detective story, a French comedy, or surrealism in fashionable tones—the viewer will have to decide at the very end.

Experimental short film by Valery Pereverzev.

How can an artist make an avant-garde film for the film market, knowing in advance that the market does not want it?
