Like In Venice
On his 30th birthday, the event manager Petr Maslov, tired of everything, receives an impossible order from the oligarch Anton Orekhov: to arrange the birthday for his wife, which… is today. A masquerade, parades, gondolas — so that everything would be “like in Venice”, but only on the Gorki estate near Moscow. The mad requests of the customer and his wife, hysterics, a terrible taste and a million of instructions in a second literally drive Petr and his team mad.
