Heavenly Relatives
A young man named Artyom lives a carefree, free life. He is a typical representative of modern youth, absorbed in the fast pace of life. Artyom's main priorities are women, alcohol and countless parties. For sure, the life of the main character would have continued to remain the same aimless, if not for his "funny relatives", who, with their antics and moralizing, constantly put the hero in comical situations. But they do not come to tea and do not come, for example, from Voronezh, as typical average relatives do.
