On Different Sides

2021 · 9 min · Drama

Rallies in Moscow. At Ivan’s door the bell is rung by a scared stranger who asks “to sit it out for a while”, explaining that she went by a rally and “accidentally” got her share. Vanya lets her in. But at the door an OMON officer turns up, who is looking for the most active protesters. Vanya opens: he has nothing to hide, especially since he hates these “morons shouting outside his window”. To get away, the beauty plays a whole performance before the OMON, involving Vanya; it becomes clear that she is not what she pretended to be.
