I actually needed that. A good dark comedy, that says so much about our current world, by literally having almost nothing to do with it.
At first the story seems like the standard disfunctional family - a bit rough, a bit bitter, but all understandable. Old friends, old stories, old dramas. Then, guns mix with alchohol and standard Russian nihilism and the results are absolutely hilarious. It seems like everybody is unhappy over getting or not getting certain STD. Which seems as funny as it is, makese sense - getting a STD in a small town must be very traumatic, as literally EVERYBODY will know about it. And since it's the end of the world, things get very rough, very soon.
If "Don't look up" focuses on people ignoring the problem, in this Russian version, they show people who don't ignore it, but instead, try to live with it and miserably fail.
Anyway, we had a good laugh, most of the time with the WTF look on our faces.
