After ten years of marriage, the husband and wife decide to divorce. The division of property and the process of divorce itself take place without scandals. They both understand that divorce is the only way out of a stretched unsuccessful marriage, where each of them believes that they have not fully realized their potential and a difficult decision will give impetus to a new life and forgotten dreams. But only after the divorce, they realize that it was all just an illusion and that in fact the problem was not in marriage.
The main roles in the film were played by Irina Mikhailova ("Republic Z", "Nuuccia") and Ilya Yakovlev ("Ichchi").
Filming took place in one of the coldest cities in the world, Yakutsk, at a temperature of -56 degrees.

"I am convinced that the problem of divorce is very relevant in our time. And often all this happens against the backdrop of misunderstanding and disrespect for each other because of selfishness. Nobody wants to give in, and even if they give in, it eventually leads to negativity. I am against the destruction of the ego of each individual. I think that it is necessary to combine the ego of each person and create one common "WE". With this film, I want to show that you don't have to be ashamed of your feelings. It is necessary to talk a lot on this topic at the stage of the beginning of a joint life. All the same, over the years, everything accumulates and even the smallest problem in relationships leads to a big problem. Many understand this only when they are left alone, when they get divorced and it is already impossible to return the old relationship back," notes director Stepan Burnashev.
The information partners of the film are Art of Cinema and the Kino-Teatr.Ru portal. Distributor of the film "Cynology".
