Ten days off might be just what Anja Romanowa needs to sort out a few things in her twenty-eight-year-old life. For example, a confusing love triangle or her unsuccessful career start at the Russian Foreign Ministry with its hard-drinking cynics. Only Anja spends this time involuntarily with five other young women: There's Maja, who invests in "breast and butt tuning" to please rich men, Natasha, who knows the real prison camp, or Irka, who hasn't paid alimony for her daughter. They are together in Moscow prison for misdemeanors. Anja herself is serving a ten-day sentence for calling for a demonstration against government corruption. Six lives collide, explosively and often very comically, reflecting today's Russia: Poverty and wealth, a spirit of freedom and Putin faith, traditional roles and fluid identities - one dreams of buckwheat, the other misses Bali. And in all of this, Anja will make a decision.Tender and cool, rough and angry, Kira Jarmysch tells of how a woman finds herself in a torn society, tells of arbitrariness and repression, freedom and awakening - with the strength and force of a new generation, to which the future belongs despite everything.
