Plot synopsis
The 30-year-old Alexei, head of the regional department of culture, is a real crank. He tries to paint in the style of Chagall, to open a museum of provincial Russian avant-garde, to engage in archeological excavations, to learn paragliding... Eight art-house film novellas, some kind of "treatise about emptiness", filled with spiritual energy. But where is the entrance and where is the exit in this life? Maybe it can be found just by closing oneís eyes, hanging spoons over oneís ears, and silently repeating the magic word "Inzeen".
