Barabashka
Artyom is in quarantine at home. At first, he even likes that he is left to himself — the family is in the country, the boss, although he appears with ridiculous initiatives, but only by phone. And everything would be fine, but soon Artyom begins to notice strange things: half of the scrambled eggs disappears before his eyes, a glass of whiskey moves into the bathroom itself, and an obscene drawing of magnets appears on the refrigerator. Trying to figure it out, Artyom realizes that it's all Barabashka's fault, who needs to be limed at all costs.
