Synopsis
A flu-ridden family of nobodies in post-Soviet Russia lives out their ordinary days with extraordinary secrets- the husband is a plumber that transforms humdrum moments into wonderfully weird Japanese comic strips whenever things excite him and the wife is a librarian who has a thing for killing abusive men with a kitchen knife.
