Synopsys:
Vitali has always dreamed of becoming a priest. However, now that he has graduated from an Eastern Orthodox seminary, he isn’t ready to follow his calling.
He spends every free moment with his beloved grandmother, and rents a flat with his best friend. Together they transform the two tiny rooms into their own
world – a world that becomes harder and harder for Vitali to leave behind.
