Two young residents of Moscow, recently graduated, hire a car, buy tickets and drive... Their parents built communism, their grandfathers overcame fascism, but for them there is nothing to built and to struggle for. Two young residents of Moscow, recently graduated, spend time on the internet and do not clearly understand what they are living for, don’t understand their country and don’t see a perspective in the future. Television has plagued them with Big Winter Olympic Games in Sochi and they hire a car, buy tickets and drive throughout the country to see competitions, Black sea and Russian countryside.

This documentary promoting the joys of life in a Soviet village centers on the activities of the Young Pioneers. These children are constantly busy, pasting propaganda posters on walls, distributing hand bills, exhorting all to "buy from the cooperative" as opposed to the Public Sector, promoting temperance, and helping poor widows. Experimental portions of the film, projected in reverse, feature the un-slaughtering of a bull and the un-baking of bread.

Martin Scorsese’s portrait of writer and social commentator Fran Lebowitz, celebrated for her sharp wit and observations on modern life. Filmed at New York’s Waverly Inn and intercut with archival footage and interviews, the documentary captures Lebowitz’s distinctive worldview through her spontaneous monologues and public appearances.
