Synopsis: The film starts with documentary-style flashbacks showing Misha's rise to a powerful marketing executive. Now in Moscow 2017, Misha is a powerful marketing executive working to spread Western brands, and like the businesses he works for nothing will stop him in his greed, until the imprisonment and death of an overweight girl undergoing extensive plastic surgery to become skinny. Following a vision in which Misha sacrifices a heifer to God, he begins to receive strange visions depicting the brands control over people. He returns to work and guided by these visions, Misha attempts to stop the growth of the brands in post-Communist Russia by encouraging the brand to attack each other in their advertising campaigns. There is some debate whether Misha believes that the worship of global brands is Idolatry and his visions depicting the brands are controlling people causing them to sin, or whether his belief is that monopoly is evil and his intention is to create a Western style free-market

"to share with us your fascinating new ideas

about advertising."

This is from the president

of General lectric.

A lot of Lenin's guys

lectured for American companies.

And, as you can see,

the Americans studied well.

This is all very interesting, Misha,

but you still haven't answered

my question.

Why is it you're not married?

I'm not sure we should be doing this.

Dating usually just gets

in the way of business, Abby.

These days...

I don't think anything

gets in the way of business.

By the way...

there's just one thing I think we should

agree upon from the beginning.

Okay.

We're 50/50 partners. Right?

Shut up.

- Stop. I should get that.

- Not now.

Misha.

Abby!

Get out of the car! Get out of the car, you...

Get out of that car now!

- Don't be scared.

- Out of the car, you f***ing coward!

- Just calm down, Bob.

- You want me to calm down?

I am going to calm you down once and for all!

Abby! Abby!

ey! ey!

ey! Abby, get out of the car.

Get out of the car!

It's okay, Abby. It's okay. It's okay.

Okay, okay. ey.

Can we... Can we please just discuss this

like normal people?

- You want to discuss it?

- Yeah.

All right, let's discuss it.

Misha set out with Abby

to cast the perfect fat girl,

having no idea who stood behind

the final decision.

She could be a star.

She can be a star!

The show premiered to high ratings,

but the night before the operation episode,

the star panicked.

What's she saying?

She's saying she doesn't want

to do the surgery.

She's scared.

Asking us to let her go.

We have to go to her.

We have to talk to her.

No, no, no. It's okay. It's just nerves.

Nobody needs to tell her anything.

- I don't know.

- Abby. ey, stop it.

verything's going to be fine.

We, like, totally won!

The operation was a success,

and Veronika's sleeping like a baby!

There was, like, so much blood

I almost fainted!

You're so full of sh*t!

I know.

Who is this?

Misha. Wake up.

What? Why are you shaking me?

Veronika's asleep.

So let her sleep. I'm also sleeping.

She didn't come out from under the anesthesia.

ave the Veronika crying tape

shown on the evening news.

I directed this show like it was a movie,

and a real person is lying in a coma.

No. No, listen.

That was an accident, okay?

What happened to Veronika

is not our responsibility, okay?

It is not your fault.

Fine.

I'm gonna go see the insurance guys.

ey.

ven if you won't have money,

you'll still have me.

Look, Abby...

I'm going to see to it that I have money, too.

Mikhail Galkin, one of the producers

xtreme osmetics

was arrested today on charges of fraud.

Galkin's partner,
